The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA)
is an international, non-profit organization, celebrating pre-17th century history. It has members who study every aspect of medieval life. We are brewers, archers, calligraphers, heralds, spinners, blacksmiths, costumers, dancers, equestrians, cooks and armoured fighters. We enjoy feasting, embroidery, leatherwork, fencing, beadwork, socializing, live weapons competition, period music, theatre and much more. If someone did it back then, you can bet someone is trying to do it now.
Paid membership is not required for participation in local meetings, practices or events.

Many details have yet to be worked out but it is expected to include fighting, archery, thrown weapons, dance, Arts and Science and merchants. STAY TUNED.
