The Birka event website has been updated with the (tentative) overall schedule. The schedule of classes and meetings should be posted soon. Please see: http://www.birka.org/cms/schedule/

This annual event is always chock-full of activities, and this year is no exception. There will be: fighting, fencing, dancing, Royal and Baronial Court, arts and sciences displays and classes, middle eastern activities, guild meetings, noble visitors from other Kingdoms, and — as always — the best shopping North of Pennsic!

As Birka draws many attendees who are not SCA members, the event’s Gold Key staff can lend suitable garb, and the Baron and Baroness of Stonemarche are offering a special “Welcome Tour” for folks who are new to the event or to the SCA.
