June Faire looks to send Port Gamble back in history to medieval times.
On June 6 and 7, the township of Port Gamble will be transformed from its everyday existence as a small mill town to a colorful Middle Ages encampment for the pageantry and celebration of the Barony of Dragon’s Laire.
June Faire features historic arts and crafts, craft demonstrations and classes, demonstrations of armored tournament combat, archery and mock battles.
Their Excellencies of Dragon’s Laire, Conchobar MacEoin and Eilidh Keldeleth, invite one and all to join them for a weekend of fun at June Faire XXXIII. Dragon’s Laire is filled with anticipation and excitement as we look forward to celebrating our 20th anniversary as the Barony of Dragon’s Laire in 2015. Come out and be a part of the festivities.
