Upcoming Events Pennsic War July 24 - August 9, 20 Upcoming Events Pennsic War July 24 - August 9, 2026 Cooper's Lake Campground 205 Currie Rd. Slippery Rock, PA 16057 Pennsic War is traditionally the largest SCA event held every year. Running for 2 weeks in Pennsylvania, the large private campground caters to the SCA and even has a wooden palisade in the battlefield for the fighters to battle around. There are many activities like dances, classes, archery, fighting and much more. Since the event is so much larger than normal SCA events you can meet more people, see a wider variety of SCA activities and a wider array of classes. The combat recreation for this event tends to be among the largest medieval combat recreations in the world and is a sight to see. Pennsic also has a number of non-SCA participants which makes it a little different from other SCA wars. Pennsic can be an intimidating event even for long-time participants in the SCA. Longer wars like this require more planning, supplies, clothing and a much longer than usual drive. The way some people talk you would think that the entire Kingdom of Calontir travels to this event, but in reality less than 200 members usually register to camp with our kingdom. Many members of the SCA never go to Pennsic, either due to limitations on vacation, distance or it just isn’t the kind of event they enjoy. We strongly advise members to attend several other SCA events locally before thinking about attending Pennsic War, Gulf Wars or any other major out of kingdom events. It is much easier to attend your first few events at smaller camping events closer to home and work your way up to larger events. Camping at Pennsic War will be tight and space is limited. If you have other questions, please feel free to ask.

Upcoming Events Feast of Eagles July 25, 2026 Shaw Upcoming Events Feast of Eagles July 25, 2026 Shawnee Mission Unitarian Universalist Church 9400 Pflumm Rd. Lenexa, KS 66215 Opens 8:30 AM - Closes 9:00 PM Feast of Eagles is a yearly event held on the west side of Kansas City. The event usually has fighting, classes and a chance to mingle with friends. This is a single day event. In general people arrive in the morning, look at the displays, participate in activities, talk to people during the day, generally attend court if it is held and then leave site in the late afternoon. There is a plan for Rattan Tournaments, Cut and Thrust Tournaments, Thrown Weapons Competitions, a Bocce Tournament, and arts and sciences classes. This can be a long drive for members of the SCA in Iowa, but there are also many fun things to do in Kansas City if you want to make a weekend of it. Many of us combine single day events like this in larger towns with shopping trips and other fun along the way.
