The highlight of the day will be the various demonstrations taking place on the street in front of the museum. Kazimir the Hungry will be breathing fire and swallowing swords and the Wisconsin Historical Fencing Association will be doing various fighting demonstrations. There will also be ongoing displays by Clann Tartan, A Life Medieval, and Hangin’ with the Bard in the museum courtyard. Bardmageddon will be performing in the museum theater and One Eye Dave’s Hotdogs will provide concessions.

Visitors interested in searching for the fabled “Holy Grail” in the shops of the shire can enter a drawing to win the treasured artifact along with $100 Alma Dollars. There will also be plenty of merry making with the Midwest Renaissance Actors Guild performing on Main Street.

A full schedule of the days events will be available in the coming weeks. Admission wristbands are $8 for adults and $5 for students. Visitors in ancient, medieval, or renaissance era dress get $2 off and children four and under are free.
