I've never heard of a renaissance fair over here. And one of the examples you give, jorvik viking festival, is surely set several centurias before the renaissance.

All Renaissance fairs are really medieval fairs.

They ended up called Renaissance Fairs because a radio ad exec in California thought it was a more broadly appealing name when the first one was held, and it stuck.

  I've wondered about the name for a while, thanks for explaining!
