Oh yes, there are many. Most, but not all states have a big one that runs multiple weekends. Also there tend to be smaller fairs that run one to three weekends that are hosted by cities, groups, or private owners. \n\nSome that come to mind: \nSterling in New York\nSilver Leaf in Michigan\nUpper Great Lakes Renassance Fair in Ironwood\nMaryland Renassance Fair in Crownsville\nPennsylvania Ren Fair\nHolly\nGrand Valley used to have one, not sure if it is still going. \n\nThere are lots of sites online about Ren Fairs and also several publications. \n\nHave fun.

In 6 months you can learn many things about the people and culture of where you go to. Although there are similarities between the UK, US, and Australia there are differences beyond the similarities of language. I live in the US and when I visited the UK there was no language barrier, but there was still a bit of culture shock, although not as much as when I visited European countries. Since I live in the US I know that there are some stereotypes of Americans as not knowing much of the rest of the world and being self centered, and some Americans are like that but they are not the majority. It depends on what your interests are. I can only speak of what I am familiar with, which is the US. If you like big cities with many cultural amenities there is New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. If you like nature, there is Niagara Falls, Yellowstone Park, and the Grand Canyon. When I visited Europe it seemed smaller than I would have thought, so if you visit the US expect cities and attractions to be further apart than you may initially think. My opinion, which is probably biased due to where I live, is that the US has many different areas which can either be appealing or unappealing to people based on their preferences. As to where you should stay if you decide to visit the US, the possibilities are endless due to the diversity of the different cities and states. My personal opinion of the Top 10 places to see in the US would be Boston, New York, Niagara Falls, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Antonio, Yellowstone Park, Grand Canyon, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

Oh my gosh I haven't thought about those in years.  We use go to the ones In Dallas and Houston.  I loved it because you could always find some hard to find record or an LP with the band's picture on it.  I haven't' heard anything about them in a while.  Now all I hear about are the Starving Artists Conventions.

The places where i have always seen them are at the mall in little booths so you could start off there you just have to ask the mall manager. I also see them a lot a lil carnivals and the county fair.

There was a great seven-part series on PBS in 1992 for the 500th anniversary of Columbus' discovering "America", or more specifically the Western Hemisphere ala Santo Domingo.  Like many discoveries it was a happy accident in the pursuit of a shorter route to Asia, the spice route, and to India, hence the term the West Indies.  \n\nOne of the more fascinating aspects is the perception of European Exploration through the years.  At the 400th anniversary in the 1890's the west's attitude was one of the white race conquering primitive lands and civilizing the uncivilized.  Here in Chicago, the Columbian Exposition in 1893 showcased the progress of America with the most perfect "White City" as a commemoration of this event.  \n\nA mere 100 years later with political correctness more prevalent(Dances with Wolves as an example) we see more of how unique cultures have been lost to European greed and conquest.  Where was the celebration?  The event became more of a chance for the world to become introspective in examining the pros and cons of this discovery, and seemed to acknowledge plenty of each.\n\nWikipedia has additional observations -- see the link below.

Well - where is your area?  A good idea is to check out costume websites, celtic music websites, etc.  If you've been to the renfair in Sterling, NY (a summer thing - http://sterlingfestival.com/renfest/ ) I'll bet a number of vendors there are willing to travel to various places.  A good idea might be to contact the people who run the more popular fairs and ask for advice - a friend of mine runs one in Vermont and I'm sure if she's any example people would be happy to answer your questions.
