Thanks again to imcurious2 for finding out about this festival during April and May, in Waxahachie, called Scarborough Faire. Most of these Renaissance festivals (all over the US) have campgrounds for the employees, and Scarborough did, at one time, but not in 2015, according to this post (employee website is RenaissanceFestival.com):

We typically stay at the Hampton Inn, but have also stayed at the Holiday Inn Express, and the Comfort Suites. All are nice, and are within about 10-15 minutes or so...all along US 287 east of I-35E
Do NOT consider the Texas Inn, which is the closest one. I have heard naught but ill about them.*
There is some campgrounds in the general vicinity (20-30 minutes away, I think), but not being a camper, I cannot offer any help there.
The Hampton Inn is 4 miles from the Creekside Church of God, off Highway 287,according to Google Maps

We have arrived, and are camping comfortably at the Hampton Inn, eagerly awaiting opening cannon in the morn!
The employees that comment all seem very nice and excited about the fair, but I found an article that makes some of them sound less than wholesome

For the patrons, the day ends with a joust and a pub sing. For the people who work Scarborough, the day doesnt end there. Many of the 2,000 vendors, cast, stage performers, and other fair workers live at a nearby campsite during the eight weeks that Scarborough is open. Some work the circuit, moving from one Renaissance fair to another across the country. Many of them exist near the poverty level and live off food stamps. I talked with Tony Hawkins about the campsite. Hawkins was in the cast in 1995 and 1996 as a member of the dance
group and a puppeteer.
There are all types, he says. You know, its a campground. People hang out there, and you can do whatever.
Also:
Despite the long days, according to Hawkins, the nights are also long. On the weekends, it goes on pretty late, because thats your social time, he says.
I wonder if other unsolved murders have coincided with any Renaissance Festivals, anywhere in the US? Since, Some work the circuit, moving from one Renaissance fair to another across the country
Alternative lifestyles are attractive to creative people and weirdos. Sometimes it is hard to tell them apart, unfortunately for artists, actors and musicians.
