The people at faire - the friendships really do become something deeper than I've had before. We're a family. :)

And dressing up and getting to be someone else for a while is nice, too!

The vendors, the people, the food, and the food.  Did I mention the food?

Even the mundanes are fun to watch sometimes.   :D

/\ This, exactly. I'm constantly amazed at the warmth, open arms and love from my fairemly. I've met so many people I love to death and would do almost anything for, just because we happen to be rennies. Without the people, faire would just be a bunch of buildings and tents. :-)

Eating, drinking, the shows. being all garbed up. The fire works at the end of the evening. The walk back to the campsite to spend the evening with fairemily. Sharing a meal, drink, laughter, telling stories, and music. Making new life long friends as your taking a stroll around the campsite. Faire is the best.

I was thinking when I started this,that people watching might be the answer. But then I realized that it is the whole atmosphere of the Faire or as some have put it, just home.

What I enjoy most is the overall atmosphere of faire, the interaction with all the patrons who walk through the gates and the company of good friends some of which you only see at faire.

The feeling of walking out of my mundane world and into something more fun.  That includes most of the things listed (especially wearing my garb), but my favorite moment is that first step inside the front gates :)

Premiering a new costume! I love the first batch of reactions that I get when I display my newest creation. That's really why I do it, it's a natural high that nothing else can touch!
