What makes the event unique is it's setting, [http://www.casaloma.org/| Casa Loma], a large historical mansion in [[Toronto]], Ontario. The mansion, one of Canada's most famous landmarks, was built in the early 20th century as a fantasy "castle" by the eccentric financier Sir Henry Mill Pellatt. Currently operated by the Kiwanis club of Toronto as a [[museum]] and tourist attraction, it is loaned to the [[Royal Citie]] for one day a year, in exchange for a number of [[demo]]s at inner-city schools.
Once held at [http://www.casaloma.org/ Casa Loma], a large historical mansion in the Spadina district, the Feast of the Bear is now held at St. Simon-the-Apostle in Toronto's affluent downtown neighbourhood of Rosedale, alongside the Don Valley.

Much of the museum remains open to the public during the [[event]], so it is also one of the few annual events in [[Ealdormere]] where there is much interaction between [[mundane]]s and [[SCAdian]]s. Anyone attending the Feast of the Bear should expect to have their pictures taken repeatedly as the day progresses. Fortunately, all attendees are given access to the museum as part of their [[site fee]]s.

The [[tourney]]s and [[market]] are typically held in and around the stables during the day. [[Court]] and [[Feast]] are held in the main mansion after the museum closes, and are a private function of the [[SCA]].

Feast of the Bear is a [[damp site]] in the evening, with no outside alcohol permitted.
