Maypole XI Shire of Druim Doinnean
April 29, May 1st & 2nd Port Angeles, WA
Our shire invites you to come celebrate Spring with a traditional Maypole Faire, Lord and Lady of the May and the Druim Doineann “Tournament for the Mace”. There will be heavy arms, rapier and archery tournaments, a large indoor facility for A&S displays and demos, and a sheltered, outdoor bardic.
Dance the Maypole with your kids or sweetheart, enter a “Medieval Fashion Show” (prizes for both simple as well as more elaborate garb – points for workmanship), display your handicrafts at our “Medieval Life Museum”. Enter our Bardic competition for the best original song or poem about romance/spring, and recite or sing it at our potluck feast, on Saturday evening! (Shire will supply the “beast”.)
Merchants most welcome.
