- Harvest Feast 2025 pre-reg is open!
2025 Harvest Feast is Oct 11! Are you ready?! Pre-Reg is now open!
Good day, Mighty Dragon’s Laire!
Now that Autumn War is over, it’s time to turn our eyes toward our annual Harvest Feast. This year’s feast will focus on New World foods, and the amazing meals will be served throughout the day. Check out the sample menu on the event page. We will be supplying the plates and bowls, so you don’t need to worry about cleaning your feast gear after each meal.
Pre-registration will be open through October 2nd: link to Google form
We will also have our Scholars, Bardic and A&S Candidates giving presentations, so come “geek out” with us. There’s still time to sign-up to present if you want: here are all the details.
Weather permitting, we will have Heavy Fighting and Rapier events on site. There will also be a kids corner. There is something for everyone at this event.
Currently, the Royals are not planning to attend this event, which means our Baron and Baroness will have ample Court time throughout the day to recognize the wonderful things folks within our Barony have been doing. As such, now is a great time to submit Baronial award recommendations via our website. Read about our different Baronial awards.
One of the best parts about Harvest Feast is working behind the scenes, either in the kitchen or helping to set-up/tear-down. It’s a great opportunity to have some good laughs and meet new folks. If you’d like to Volunteer, please let us know.
With kind regards,
The Barony of Dragon's Laire
