That Medieval Thing (TMT)

That Medieval Thing (TMT) is a beloved springtime tradition in northern New Jersey, offering a charming glimpse into medieval life. Unlike sprawling renaissance faires, TMT provides an intimate and immersive experience focusing specifically on the medieval period. Held annually in April, this juried event emphasizes historical accuracy and quality craftsmanship, setting it apart from more generic faires. Visitors to TMT can expect a delightful array of entertainment, from costumed characters and artisan demonstrations to live music and theatrical performances. Food vendors offer a taste of the era alongside modern faire favorites. Opportunities for hands-on activities and unique shopping abound, creating a day of exploration and discovery for all ages. The atmosphere is lively and engaging, fostering a sense of community and shared enthusiasm for history. That Medieval Thing is perfect for families, history buffs, and anyone looking for a unique and engaging day out. The faire’s manageable size makes it ideal for those new to the renaissance faire experience. Comfortable shoes are recommended as guests will be doing a fair amount of walking. Be sure to check the event website for specific dates, times, and other relevant information before attending.
