When many people think of the SCA, they think of people in medieval clothing, fighters battling, feasts and dancing. This is actually a pretty good description of an SCA event.
It is always a good idea to pre-register for an event, especially if you wish to have feast. For a list of up-coming events, check our Upcoming Events page.
What to bring with you to an event
If you have not pre-registered, you should bring enough money to cover the cost of the event. You might also want to bring extra money as there are often many merchants with various SCA items for sale.
Some feast prices include lunch and breakfast, others do not, check the event announcement/flyer/website to see if you need to bring lunch.
If you are planning to eat feast, you should bring feast gear consisting of a plate, a bowl, a cup, a fork (if you prefer), a spoon, and a knife. Many people bring candles, candle holders and tablecloths.
You should also bring your own drinks and snacks. Please check the site restrictions on alcohol. Drinks should be drunk from your cup, not original containers (no one likes to see a soda or beer can at an event).
A hat, sunscreen, and insect repellant are all good to bring with you. During the spring and fall, it is a good idea to dress in layers or bring a cloak for morning and evening wear when it gets cooler. During the hottest months, you might want to dress lightly during the day and bring a change of garb for the evening.
