The Faire-Weather
Friends

Weary travelers... join us on our long-running tradition of kingdom dancing, indecent ale guzzling, and questionable levels of enthusiasm for men in tights. Huzzah.

Three Years, Three Kingdoms

Pennsylvania

Where it all began โ€” the founding faire. Nobody knew what they were doing. Everybody had the time of their lives.

Chapter One
Florida 24 bonfire

Florida

Swapped fiddle dancing for archery and foul-mouth tunes. Discovered that mead hits different in the heat of a 30-foot bonfire.

Chapter Two
Crossed swords
2026

Maryland

The next kingdom awaits. Route being plotted, tankards being polished, ambitions dangerously high.

Members of the Court

The Jouster

William Marion

Charges into every faire like it's a tournament final โ€” first in line for the joust, first to challenge a stranger to an arm-wrestle, first to regret the fourth turkey leg. Wears the fanciest cloak and somehow always loses it by 3pm.

The Bard

John Marion

Knows every tavern song by the second chorus, whether or not he knows the words. Self-appointed hype man of the group and unofficial historian of every faire trip โ€” hence this very website.

The Enchantress

Nicole Marion

Finds the best shop in every marketplace within the first ten minutes. Master of the flower crown, keeper of the group's snacks, and the only one who actually reads the festival map before wandering off.

the rules of the realm

The Sacred Codes

I.

Thou Shalt Commit to the Bit

Don your most festive garments and prepare your body for blasphemous merriment. "Huzzah" is an acceptable substitute for nearly every English word.

II.

One Game Lost is One Cup Bear'd

If thou loses a game, of which there will be many, thou must fetch ale for those in earnest need. Thou whilst remain a cup bearer until the next game has decided a new loser.

III.

Drink the Potion

There are many magical incantations in this world, though non more powerful than the Tiny Beer. Thou whilst not ask questions. Thou whilst not complain. Thou whilst take it like a champ and graciously declare for another.

IV.

Join the Minstrel

Join in the festivities and join in the song.
