About this event

We're bringing back tons of medieval fun with a winter twist! All weekend enjoy oversized fires, turkey legs, ice carving, vendors, live performances, and more. The signature moment of the weekend...

What to Expect

  • 1.Plan to wander Valade Park's medieval market stalls across the weekend, mixing ice carving demos, live performances, and plenty of turkey legs and other festival foods.
  • 2.Dress in warm layers and bring sturdy, waterproof footwear; the fires and outdoor setup mean it can feel chilly fast.
  • 3.Arrive early to beat lines for popular eats and to catch the earliest performances; map out your must-see acts and vendors.
  • 4.Vendors take different payment methods—bring a bit of cash and a card handy just in case.
  • 5.Parking near Valade Park can fill up; consider rideshare or public transit and check the park's entry points.
