Things to Bring

Springfest

DO NOT BRING non-fantasy/medieval garb or garish plastic, flashing, chirping, whirring, buzzing, or otherwise fantasy discouraging items and expect to be allowed to wear, carry, or display them on the festival grounds.

Bring this invitation packet: it includes a lot of necessary and helpful information about the weekend—including how to get there!

Everyone hopes for a beautiful, warm and sunny Festival weekend, but be prepared in the event of inclement or cooler weather. Bring a blanket, a cloak, cool-weather (or very warm-weather) garb, a change of garb and footwear in case it rains, for dinner, etc.

Feasting gear (plate, bowl, mug, chalice, eating utensils) as none will be provided, and maybe a picnic blanket/ground cloth in case you’d like to sit/eat on the ground during the day.

Flashlight: while not in keeping with the atmosphere, for some it is a necessity when trying to make it through the dark woods or finding things in your tent at night (and safer than candle and oil lanterns).

Garbage bags for your personal use at your campsite - remember, you brought it in… you bring it out!

Toiletries: toothbrush/toothpaste, soap, towels, etc., and although there is supposed to be toilet tissue in the privies, it never hurts to bring an extra roll along.

While an afternoon snack will be provided and limited fare will be available for purchase at the tavern, you may wish to bring supplemental fare to sustain you though Saturday’s events. In addition, you may want to consider provisions for Sunday morning. Tea, juice, leftovers, and snacks are sometimes available early Sunday morning, but such luxuries are subject strictly to the whim of good Samaritans and no guarantees are offered. Although there are several eateries located within 1/2 an hour’s drive of the festival site, you are not advised to go out for breakfast Sunday morning unless it is as you are heading home because you are required to be permanently off site by 12 noon.
