The Rowany Festival (sometimes called just "Festival") is Australia's largest SCA event. Currently, it is held at the Crossroads medieval village. Anything that people do in the SCA (well, most things) will be on display in some form or other at Rowany Festival.

Festival happens every Easter long weekend - don't miss it for the world.

Religious observance

If religious reasons are inclined to slow down your attendance at an event over Easter, don't forget that a group of Christians generally get together in a discrete place to hold a scheduled Easter Sunday mass. And if Pesach falls at the same time of year, I'm sure there will be people cooking in accordance with customs - it's actually easier to avoid leavening agents in period cooking.

Camping at Rowany Festival

Hrmm... so you're coming along and don't know what to take? Perhaps you need a camping list?
