The Shire of Hauksgardðr invites you to join us for a relaxing day at our 13th annual August in the Park event. Share in a potluck feast, fight in the tournament, or just relax in the shade of the big trees if that’s your preference!.

Fees: There is no gate fee…yes, it’s free!

Tournaments:

We will be holding our Heavy Defender’s Tourney to select the Shield of Hauksgardðr. All comers are welcome to attempt to become our defender. We will also have a rapier tourney in the morning before the defenders tourney. Heavy fighters that don’t want to vie for the title can come and help with demo fighting or “warming up” our combatants.
 

Potluck: Bring your favorite dish to share. Please remember that some people have food allergies so please label with your ingredients. Bring enough food to feed 10 people or more. Bring your own feast gear and drinks..We will have power available, if you need to bring a crockpot.

This event is in a public park, so even after the market is done, people will wander in to see what’s going on. Be nice to the public. We like them. 🙂

Bring your own feast gear, drinks and snacks for the day. There are also lots of yummy things to buy at the market! Chairs are also a good idea.

The park has nice, big trees, but if you have period type shade or pop-ups, feel free to bring them.
