The festival
is a unique chance to experience the Medieval period in the most authentic
setting this side of the Atlantic. The
area around the Cloisters Museum in Fort Tryon Park is transformed into a
medieval market village where knights in armor, jugglers, jesters, magicians,
musicians, storytellers, and puppeteers will perform. A blacksmith, manuscript illuminator, pottery
decorator, wood carver and other artisans will demonstrate their crafts. Performers and fairgoers dress in historical
costumes. Medieval food is available and
craft items will be sold.
The afternoon culminates with a jousting event between knights on horseback! Yes, they do knock each other off their horses!

We hope to see everyone there!
