This is your FINAL CALL to secure your seat at the MPI Medieval Festive Dinner! Don’t miss out on a night of feasting, jesting, and the chance to wield a (mostly decorative) sword! 🗡️

It’s your last shot to mingle with Lords, Ladies, and maybe a rogue jester or two. Will you dine with the Starks, revel with the Lannisters, or dare to ride with the Targaryens? Choose wisely—and do it fast, or risk banishment to a night of leftovers and missed glory! 🐉

Seats are vanishing faster than a dragon’s snack—register NOW!

Secure your spot, dress to impress, and prepare for a night of medieval mischief and merriment!
