What info can I find about SCA events and Ren Faires in New Brunswick?

What’s the difference between a LARP event and an SCA event?
LARP stands for live-action roleplaying. SCA stands for Society for Creative Anachronism. LARP events can cover a wide range of aesthetics and styles. They can include LARP battles. Usually, LARPers will fight with foam weapons at their battles. Meanwhile, SCA groups will often reenact historical scenes. This can include battles like the famous Pennsic. When members of SCA groups reenact, they often have high standards of historical accuracy when it comes to the clothing, weapons, and armour used.
What can I do at a Ren Faire?
Lots of things! Renaissance faires are filled with all sorts of fun things to do. There are usually booths for food and shopping. They will provide a range of food and drinks for you to try. When it comes to shopping, you can buy various items to add to your home or outfit. Many Ren faires will have live music and entertainment. There can be live performers, musicians, and more.
Also, you can dress up in medieval clothing or wear a fantasy outfit. Then, some faires have weekend themes for you to enjoy. These themes can focus on pirates, steampunk, Vikings, or other themes. Other faires may follow a made-up storyline with different characters that interact with guests. Regardless, faires and festivals are intended for people to have fun.
