Our favorite part of the Renaissance Festival wasn’t what you’d expect…it was Trinket Trading! 🧝♀️🏰👑 a quiet tradition that’s been going on since the start of ren faire.
Event attendees (and staff!) will carry pouches of trinkets to trade with one other. Some are even handmade items! Honestly this activity kept my kid’s excited and happy despite the epic temperatures 🥵☀️🌡️ I don’t think we would have made it without this distraction.
For our trinkets, we brought polished calming stones and some funny crow figurines.
