Site opens at 5pm on August 31 with a Traveler's Fare beginning at 7pm in the Feast Hall. Join us Friday night on the waterfront for our traditional Midnight Dagger Duel.

On Saturday, join us for a day full of activities including fighting,
children's activities, classes (to be announced) and another Smythkepe
tradition: the Quest.

Did I mention the Anvil Toss? We wouldn't be Smythkepe without the Anvil Toss!

Join us Saturday evening for a sumptuous feast prepared by Smythkepe's own aspiring chefs (and don't blame us if you go away hungry).  Following the feast, will be more activities including but not limited to the traditional Smythkepe Bardic Circle (sing a song, tell a tale, make a request).
