Hot off the presses! We look forward to seeing you this weekend! The Faire will go on, rain or shine — we’re watching the weather, and we have contingency plans to shift many activities into covered and indoor spaces if it rains.
As always, our event team has done their best to anticipate everything… but unexpected things can happen that cause last minute schedule changes. Always listen to the site heralds.
Travel Advisory – Road Construction Season!
Greetings Good Nobles travelling to the Dragon’s Laire from afar, tales of delayed travel have reached our ears. We send a missive that you might plan for more time and snacks to tide you over.
If you are coming from the Tacoma area, the west bound Narrows Bridge will be at 2 lanes starting Saturday at 4 AM through 4 PM Sunday. (Link to details from the DOT)
If you are traveling from the north end of the Olympic Peninsula, roundabout Construction at the junction of SR 104 and SR 19 continues, causing slows and delays. (link to DOT info). Also, the Hood Canal Bridge, is expected to close to traffic at 8:15 AM on Sunday June 16th. Delays could be up to an hour (link to the DOT bridge status site).
Just added: Parking Info for Saturday
Fairgrounds Road will be closed Saturday on either side of Thunderbird Arena. There is NO Kitsap Medieval Faire Access from the West side of Thunderbird at Fairgrounds Rd and Tibardis. All Day Trip Participants will be asked to drive around to Nels Nelson Rd to enter the event.
Parking is free! But we do hope you carpool to help assist in lowering traffic. There will be several parking options om the fairgrounds property, and designated Accessible Parking. We will have golf shuttles stopping at designated stops to transport anyone who needs assistance within the fairground property.
Armor Drops and deliveries should be completed by 9:00AM if possible, as the road will be closed after that.
