With
one step you leave behind all that you have known and with the next step into a
world where Myth and Legend are Reality. A place where Ladies walk hand in
hand with Knights in shining armour, where Musicians sit under shaded tree and
weave stories of lyrical wonder. A place where Merchants offer treasures
from far away lands, and foods are offered that are both new to the eye and
pleasing to the palette. Enjoy games and diversions of great merriment,
while Performers entertain you with their cleverness and skill.
Join us for two days of magic and wonder that will leave you wishing not to return to your mundane world. Dress in your finest garb and dance the night away at the Masquerade Ball where your Prince Charming or Lady Juliet awaits you. Festivities begin Saturday morn at 10 am with the Nobles Parade and do not end until the last note from the music of the Ball. The Festival resumes Sunday morning at 10 am and concludes at 5 pm. Free to all that shall enter our Magical Realm.
No weapons permitted. No alcohol or coolers allowed.

 Bubble Wright I see bubble making as performance art, but as one step removed. It is not the making of the bubbles but the bubbles themselves that is the performance. Saturday Only |
 Hither, Dither & Yon A Lot of naughty, a little nice. The perfect mixture of sugar and spice. Private and public events are our forte. Watch Video on Youtube |
