There’s a Renaissance Faire in The Philippines and Minute Burger Has Been to Two

‍

Baguio is famous for its reputation as the Summer Capital of the Philippines. As soon as temperature rises, Baguio turns into a sanctuary for those seeking refuge from the humid weather. Other than its soothing weather and historic charm, did you know that Baguio is the birthplace of a unique festival called Ren Faire PH?

What is Ren Faire PH all about? Try to imagine life in England when knights patrol castle walls and horse carriages transport goods in and out of the city. Ren Faire PH is a three-day outdoor event that attempts at letting attendees step back in time and discover what life was like during the renaissance period.

People from all over the Philippines who share a deep love for history and fantasy went to Ren Faire PH dressed up in European-inspired costumes. It felt like time had stood still for a moment at the Carantes Ancestral Forest in Loakan back in March 2024 when hundreds of men and women wearing medieval robes marched inside the fairgrounds to share laughs and carve new memories with their costumed companions.

Learning that there’s high demand for a renaissance festival here in the Philippines, Ren Faire PH returned for a sequel, this time it was Igorot Stone Kingdom’s turn to play the role of venue host to the event. Thousands again showed up roleplaying as noblemen, theatre performers, and hood-wearing travelers.

Minute Burger was one of few quick service food brands invited to witness the festivities of Ren Faire PH. For two years in a row, Minute Burger offered the attendees of Ren Faire PH with budget-friendly Buy One Take One hamburgers and hot beverages. The aroma and affordability of the products were reasons enough for the hungry attendees to surround the stall.
