Have you ever done a ren fest? It's an awful lot like that. The paid actors are in character but everyone else is just modern folk in a weird, garish misinterpretation of pre-1900s fashion. It's kinda fun watching someone in Victorian finery try to fit a turkey leg and a beer in one hand so they can take a selfie, the anachronism of it is cute. It's a bit more audience participation-y than, say, colonial williamsburg where the idea is that you're separate from the period-appropriate folk and watching, but any sort of roleplay from the patrons is optional and silly.
