Medievalism was hugely popular in the counter-culture movement of the 1960s and remains a significant influence today among hippy/New Age types. The famous Oregon Country Fair started out as the Oregon Renaissance Faire. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Country_Fair https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Country_Fair)
