Allowable weapons include, but are not limited to: axes, swords, daggers, knives, dirks, claymores, halberds, maces, hammers, spears, bows and arrows, and pikes. 

Except for approved reenactors, all weapons must be secured or “peace tied” to the guest at all times in a holster protecting the blade and may not be removed from the holster. Any exposed blade or point must be of stage combat grade and must not pose a risk of injury to the guest or others. Arrows being carried as costume adornment must be “peace tied” together and/or have the arrow tips removed. 

The festival information table will assist guests with the securing of weapons. Any person in possession of a weapon that is determined to be unsafe or unable to be made safe will be requested to secure it in their vehicle or remove it from the festival.

To apply to be a vendor, please complete the vendor application  and include photos of your products and setup. Our vendor process requires that applications be reviewed by our vendor selection committee. Approved vendors need to be accepted in time to include them in the festival layout.

This is your chance to educate and interract with people you would not see at a typical reenactment. Visitors will see camps and displays set-up by re-enactors from many different time periods. Living historians spanning 2500 years of military history will be wearing clothing and uniforms from their chosen time period or conflict and have equipment and weapons to show and describe.

Reenactors should fill out the reenactor application.
