Where in the world is UnHip LA?
I can only say that this was one of the coolest festivals I have ever attended in So. Cal. Thanks C!
Pirates:
Polish Army Soldier (1569 - 1696) with Norman Schwarzkopf:
Japanese medical unit:
Native American encampment:
Answer: Old Fort MacArthur Days in San Pedro, CA, a living history and historical reenactment festival, themed around military encampments from Ancient Rome to present day. It was a great event with history buffs and nuts showing off their knowledge and wares. I felt things were quite authentic.
Next year’s festival will be July 12-13 in San Pedro, near the Korean Friendship Bell. Reenactors spend the night in their camps and eat mush.

(BTW, That’s not really Norman Schwarzkopf above.)
Please post more because I’m intrigued…what would bring together veterans and tall me in fur coats?

If anything, they are malnourished.
