We are here for day two! Rain or shine with dancers, story tellers, combat demonstrations, amazing vendors and St. Pierre Delicacy is here with food today!!

It is day two!! Welcome to Gathering of The Realms!

Parking opens at 10 and "gates" at 11am!

Reminder, this is our first event. We have striven for quality entertainment and amazing artisans. But do not be fooled, you will not be walking onto a 200-acre plot where there are permanent buildings. We do not have gates this year, but we do have all the fun of a great September weekend!

Can't wait to meet you all!

Part Five
What will you see at the event
This is our first ever event! We wanted to bring the universe to you but we had to stay within realistic goals this time.
We have brought performers known in the area to dazzle you. Enjoy watching and interacting with The Long Shanks, a stilt walking family. Speak with the dancers from either or both The Raq-uettes and Shimmynannigans as belly dancing is a language and art well beyond the trappings of television and movies.
We have planned demonstrations of combat, arts and sciences. HEMA fighters will have heavy fighting while SCA Shire of Mountain Freehold has organized other forms of combat demonstrations plus displays and activities centralized around varying eras of history.
Swanton Public Library is presenting story times with a princess!
Artisans and vendors will have their wares available for purchase. Take a look back at our previous posts as we have introduced them and given examples of what to expect to find to buy!
There may be a game of chance or two for local fundraising purposes within our community.
And who knows what activities await! We can’t let everything out of the bag. We have to keep some suspense and intrigue!

An arguable best part of a ren faire is the mead!! Remember to enjoy responsibly!

Groennfell Meadery and Havoc Mead's mission:

The world has forgotten how to feast.

We believe that a feast is a space set apart from daily life where people feel that they are part of something bigger than themselves, surrounded by food, drink, and revelry.

We are proud of the meads we make, of course, but in all that we do, we remember that we are in the business of feasting.
