Where are our 18th century Enlightenment Faires?

Including such activities as:
Picking between San-Culottes and Muscadins and initiating in team-based mob warfare with foam clubs.
Going to the coffeehouse and sipping coffee while debating the latest and greatest in scientific achievement.
Constitution drafting
Slavery
Initiating fifty wars at once over succession
Fancy dress parties
Bicorns and tricorns
Prussians

Living history exhibits in the United States. We gots them. Also, the camps that spring up around Civil War reenactments. I think the East coast does more 18th century stuff for obvious reasons.

Now, that is shit relevant to the US, obviously we don't get too many coffeehouses or Prussians or wars of succession. It's Europe's job to do the European stuff.

tfw we have Renn Faires en masse and rip off European history for the purpose of commercially enriching the American experience that is flat bread.

Yet you're proposing we can't continue to appropriate European history and pretend it's not American. :c

Because in the 16th century European-American history was pretty bleak. By the 18th century we have stuff to do, so we don't need to borrow from Europe anymore.

No general interest?

Actually, now I think of it, our local Ren Faire always has a few dudes who dress up as 18th European dandies with makeup act as French Ambassadors to the King's court.
