Gather Ye Lords and Ladies Fair, Come with me to the Medieval
Faire!!

Framed by the forested Green Hills the field is strewn with tents both brilliant white and vibrant hues. The aromas of roasting foods rise through the air along with the sounds of laughter and music that abound upon the field. Brave Knights strive to earn Ladies hearts by deeds of arms and with the shiny treasures found on Merchants Row. Games to entrance and enthrall the young and the young at heart are here by the Stage where Musicians and Performers entertain the on looking crowd.
Join us for a day filled with mirth and an evening filled with magic at the Masquerade Ball. Dress in your finest garb as you walk with Nobles, Ladies and Knights about the grounds beginning Saturday morning at 10 am and ending with the final dance of the Ball that evening. Return Sunday Morning and join in the Nobles Parade at 10 am then feast and make merry until the Faires conclusion at 5pm.
