Historic reenactment.
It's basically people doing things like they were done in the past, sometimes to the level of "hello visitors, let me explain stuff while in period clothing" to "completely recreating a medieval military campaign from underpants to anything-stew, excluding dying from a minor infection".
But it also includes period crafts, so weaving your own fabric, etc.
That's quite interesting. It reminds me of a group of people that are building a castle using period correct construction and material gathering techniques. I saw a Tom Scott video about it, I think they started in the 90's or something.
Very cool to hear about. I'm glad people do these things, even if it's sort of the first I'm learning of it. I'll keep an eye out for such events in my area in the future. Thanks!
