The outdoor Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire says its revenue fell more than 70% at one point in 2020.
The federal agency distributed $420 million of those grants to Pennsylvania organizations, with about one-third going to Philadelphia groups, such as $8 million for the Franklin Institute and $3.4 million to the Please Touch Museum. The maximum grant under the federal law was $10 million. Smaller Philly recipients included $225,055 to the Insectarium and Butterfly Pavilion, $701,226 to FringeArts, and $34,649 for Jeanne Ruddy Dancers Inc., SBA data show.
Daniel Kostelec, 41, who does Shakespeare-themed improv shows that he describes as cartoonish at renaissance fairs around the country, said that 2020 was difficult because many fairs shut down. “Many of us were trying to navigate the unemployment system,” Kostelec said. Some quit the business. “I know someone who is selling real estate,” he said.
