The
Friends of North Berkeley Library will host a Mini-Renaissance Festival on Saturday, May 23rd from 10am - 5pm.
Members of the Shire of Sylvan Glen (local chapter of the Society for
Creative Anachronism) will demonstrate medieval martial arts and weaponry as
well as medieval arts and crafts.
Patrons
can observe medieval armored combat, thrown weapon competitions and rapier
tournaments. Tournament participation is
limited to Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) members. The public can observe from the viewing area.
SCA
members will discuss medieval life with visitors and answer questions relating
to costumes and weapons. Choral, spinning and illumination demonstrations will
be given throughout the day and there will be displays of costumes and
beading.
The
public is welcome (but not required) to come dressed in their best
medieval-period clothing, but please leave all weapons at home.
