Youth combat lyst will close 15 minutes after the ending of opening court. There will be limited loaner armor available for parents to check out. Parents please assist your youth in arming up and presenting to the marshals for armor and weapon inspection.
We will not have Archery or Thrown Weapons at Anniversary this year - both of those competitions will instead be held during the Calafia Equestrian Championship event on Nov 23.
A&S/ACTIVITIES: Other activities will include Arts and Sciences, Bardic Circle, and Youth activities. There will also be Arts and Sciences classes scheduled, class details will be announced on social media when available.
The Ransomers Guild will have a table in the morning offering coffee, teas and breakfast treats for nominal donations. All monies raised will be donated to the Barony.
The Company of The Golden Fox, Calafia’s own Courtesans Guild, will be hosting a salon. Whether you are in need of a comfortable spot to rest a bit, or just want some witty conversation, the delightful Foxes are sure to entertain. 18 & over only, please.
New this year, The Calafian Brewers Guild presents "Taste of Calafia"! This will be in the same manner as was done at Potrero. All submissions need to be a fermented (Ales, Meads, Ciders, Etc.) or non-alcoholic drink, as this will ensure we meet the rules of the site, (Nothing above 20% abv, no Cordials or mixed drinks). Minimum size should be at least 22oz or bigger. If you would like to submit a drink for the event please reach out to Henrik or Triona so we can get an idea of the numbers and styles that will be offered. Please reach out with any questions. You can email them at

DIRTY DOZEN LARGESSE COMPETITION: There will also be a Dirty Dozen Largesse Competition this year. The winner will be announced at closing court and prizes to be disseminated afterward. Each participant will be able to pick a prize in the order of their ranking. Entrants are advised to create 12 items based on a theme that is suitable for largesse. For example: 12 needle books, 12 hats from different (or the same) period(s), 12 items suitable for a specific time period, 12 children’s toys, etc. Note: items that traditionally are used in pairs should include twelve pairs, so 12 socks are not suitable as it is only 6 pairs.
All entries should be tagged with the item type, artisan’s name and province, and be ready to be given the day of the competition. Items do not need to be documented as this is not an Arts and Sciences competition. Items should not have heraldry on them as they are meant to be presented in other areas.
Judging will be done by the populace in the following manner: Each entrant display will have a cup placed next to it. During the event, anyone may put a provided token into the cup accompanying their choice. Once voting closes, and all votes have been tallied, the entrant with the most tokens in their cup gets the first choice of 3 items from any of the entries as a prize. Each subsequent entrant then chooses from the remaining entries in order, according to the popular vote. Each entry may only be chosen once as a prize. The remaining 11 items from each entry will be given to Their Excellencies for use as largesse.
SITE INFORMATION/RESTRICTIONS: This is a damp site. Smoking, including vapes, is prohibited on park grounds. Pets are welcome but must be leashed at all times.
