Get into, like participate? Attend? NHRF is held in May in Fremont. If you want to be a performer or vendor, you'll want a digital portfolio of your work before you teach out to the sites.

Not exactly sure but just been thinking it looks like a lot of fun to dress up and participate however possible.

Dressing up is always fun. If you want to "get your feet wet", the SCA holds a winter market on Jan 28-29 in Manchester. Period dress is required for attendance, but they also have a small lending closet for folks who are in need.

Anyone can dress up! It’s really fun and you don’t need a professional level costume either. Just if you plan to have edged weapons (like a sword) as part of your costume it needs to be sheathed and peace-tied, which means zip-tied into the sheath so it can’t be drawn. And no crossbow bolts or arrows. Bows with no arrows are ok. My advice is bring a bag with water and money in and stay all day! We went to king Richard’s faire near Boston this year and it was really fun!

You can go without dressing up. One way you can do it is to put your costume together over time from things you get at the fair itself, so the costume itself is a memento of your visits.

You can also always dress up as Deadpool because Deadpool goes anywhere, or as the Doctor from Doctor Who because time-travellers are always period-appropriate.
