Faire in the Grove, the largest public demo in
the Portland Metro area is coming May 2-3 to the McMennamins Grand
Lodge in Forest Grove, Oregon. We invite the populace of the
Rivers Region and friends to join us for a weekend of fun and
community outreach. We are planning armored combat and rapier
activities for fighters, as well as a multitude of Arts &
Sciences and Martial displays and demonstrations, plus Merchants,
Entertainers, and food. 

 

We are looking for displays of all kinds as
well as live demonstrations. Past demonstrations and displays have
included – lampwork bead making, spring pole lathe carving,
spinning, embroidery, scribal demonstrations, block print
demonstrations, card weaving, armor, archery, glass blowing,
costume, toys, weaving, table settings, cooking demonstrations and
more!  Bards and entertainers of all types are also
needed!  We are looking for puppeteers, singers, dancers,
musicians, storytellers, jugglers, magicians and other
practitioners of the bardic arts. We also need fighters, heralds,
and marshals for combat activities. There will be prizes for the
fighting including an overnight stay at the Grand Lodge as the
grand prize for Sunday’s Heavy and Rapier Tournaments.

Merchant space is still available. 
Traffic for this event is heavy for a faire of this size.  We
usually see 6000 people over the course of a weekend if the weather
cooperates.
