* ''WebAnimation/HelloKittyAndFriendsSupercuteAdventures'': One episode sees the town holding a Ren-Faire, and it's noted that Hello Kitty is always the one to win by staying in character the longest. Badtz-Maru and Keropi attend the Faire as travelers from the future, irritating Kuromi, who asks Chococat to look up if they're breaking the rules. Chococat says that the rules don't specify a time period, just staying in character. Kuromi then works to force Badtz and Keropi to break character. She does as well in the process, but declares itw as WorthIt. Hello Kitty takes the prize again.

'''Note''': What most people think of when it comes to renaissance fairs is primarily an American thing[[note]]In recent years, American-style Renaissance fairs have made inroads in other countries. Germany has seen a very similar phenomenon since the 1980s, and, beginning in the mid-1990s, Renaissance fairs have spread into Canada and Australia.[[/note]]. In Europe at least, stuff like historical fairs tend to be more like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_museum living history museums]] (including taking place at actual historical sites).

* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'' reveals that an ''entire planet'' got colonized by Ren Fair geeks, Hysperia (it has dragons, though as we never see the planet in person, it's unclear if they were native to the planet or if they were genetically engineered afterwards). As it turns out, [[TheEngineer chief engineer]] Andy Billups is the crown prince of the planet, but opted to AbdicateTheThrone and join Starfleet since that was where he wanted to be (much to the annoyance of his mother, Queen Paolana). Their ship is a StarshipLuxurious (with [[CallARabbitASmeerp terminology used to imply it's magic and not technology]]), they have feasts and bards, etc.
