The countdown is no longer weeks away. The realm opens this Saturday.
The banners are rising, the Imperial Knights are preparing to take Monarch Arena, the fairies are gathering in Fairy Village, the Vikings are readying their raids, the pirates are waiting, the falconeers are preparing their birds, the musicians are tuning, and the tavern is nearly ready for merriment.
This weekend, Mariposa becomes a world of chivalry, fantasy, history, music, magic, and adventure.
Your festival admission includes live jousting at noon and 3:00 p.m. both days, birds of prey shows with the 3 Falconeers, Fairy Village activities, Storytime with Miranda the Forest Fairy, Mermaid & Mom, Bramble Fairy, Julie’s Creative Twist, living history encampments, Viking raids, pirates, guilds, music, comedy, artisans, photo moments, costumed characters, and entertainment throughout the weekend.
Saturday evening, the magic continues with Fairies After Dark, Fairyoke hosted by Paul & Joy, Ye Wicked Mead Tavern, and evening revelry as the realm shifts from daytime adventure into nighttime enchantment.
Come in full garb or come as your wonderful self. Bring the family. Gather your friends. Choose your champion. Wander the realm.
