What can we expect? – Friday
The site opens to the SCA populace in the afternoon. This is the time to set up your demo spaces, pavilions, day shades, and encampments. Merchants may open early for shopping. Informal evening gatherings around camp.
What can we expect? – Saturday
The biggest public demo! Opening court and procession will be followed by tourneys, war scenarios, and demos. There’ll be some of everything! SCAdians come from all around to compete, perform, and share their art. We’ll hold some of the annual martial championship tournaments for the Barony of Dragon’s Laire. Merchants will also be open. At the end of the day, the demo will end and we will have evening court. Everyone will break for dinner in their own encampments. Afterward, there may be social gatherings, bardic circles around the fire, who knows?
Merchants and Artisan Displays
We have a delightful selection of food trucks lined up this year! Visit merchants’ row and shop for treasures you can take home. Admire artisans and craftspeople at work — both indoor and outdoors! The full list of merchants and artisans can be found here (link to post).
What can we expect? – Sunday
The day starts with the remaining martial championship tournaments for the Barony of Dragon’s Laire. Merchants may still be open, and perhaps siege weapon demos. Everything winds up around noon, with a final court to crown our new Champions. There’s a lot to pack up, and then everyone goes home.
Accessibility Information
Bathrooms
There are two sets of public bathrooms with accessible stalls. One on the main event level on the east side between the barns and youth activities, and the second at the base of the path to Boand arena on the north side.
Accessible port-a-potties and hand-washing stations are throughout the site.
Golf Carts
Golf carts with mapped stops and some sort of seating will be distributed without the site and those who need to be delivered to an on-site location rather than a stop will be able to do so.
Mobility access
The main event site paths are paved but there are three slopes around the site.
The first, is a relatively short hill between the camping and the main level of the site; this is not paved, although it is generally well-packed.
The second is to the Boand arena; there is a paved path from the upper level down, and it is slightly steep.
The third is a relatively steep hill leading to the Gate for moderns and the Pavilion parking. There is a paved path with a gentle slope from the food-truck square down to the parking.
Quiet Space
The ‘Chillvillion’ will be available for a quiet space with fidgets and seating. Signage pointing to it will be throughout the event, and it will be located on the site map.
Parking
Designated parking will be available in both Gordon Field Parking (SCA Camping and daytrip until full) as well as the Pavillion Parking Lot (SCA and Modern attendees)
Service Animals
Service animals are allowed in all public spaces, including the President’s Hall.
Pets
Pets are allowed on the grounds but NOT in the President’s Hall. They must be appropriately leashed at all times, and you are responsible for picking up their poop. Poop bag and trash can stations are scattered throughout the grounds.
