The Renaissance Faire is one of the largest costumed events you can attend outside of Halloween. While they're not always the most historically accurate, the stage shows and events like jousting and highland games can make you feel like you're visiting the Renaissance. (By the way, the Renaissance was a period that happened from about 1400 to 1600 across Europe, if anyone bugs you about it!) It's still a great excuse to get in character while wearing a Renaissance costume. If you're looking for the perfect Renaissance gown, princess costume, wizard robes, mythical creatures, or peasant outfits, we have quite the variety for everyone!

There are times in the Despicable Me movies where over 10,000 Minions are shown on screen at once! Considering that they look fairly similar—some nearly identical—it’s almost impossible to keep track of who is who. What are the Minions' names? (And what is a minion anyway? All Minions are short yellow critters that wear overalls and goggles, but we may be finding out more.) If you have seen the movies, you likely remember a few of the Minion names, but do you remember what kind of shenanigans each of the Minions cast gets into? We wanted to prepare you for the Minions movie and other Minions-related escapades, so we created these character profiles for 8 of our main Minion men. Let’s see how well you know your despicable Minions!

Well folks, we're long past 2015 and we have yet to see a flying time machine car. We might not have the technology to travel through time (or have flying cars), but we can bring the past forward in time with us through themed parties, festivals, and historical reenactments. Sometimes we simply want to dress up as people from our favorite civilizations and time periods because we admire them so much! The Egyptians and Greeks were awesome because they dominated art and culture. Between the two of them, they made six of the seven wonders of the ancient world! The middle ages brought us tales of knights and derring-do that would be romanticized for centuries to come. Even Victorian attire was cool enough that it inspired the genre that is now steampunk. Or take inspiration from any of the United States' Presidents for your look. Whatever the case may be, we have a wide range of your favorite historical costumes from eras like the roaring 20s and earlier. We'll do our best to pick out the most historically accurate costumes from these different time periods!
