Every year in June, more than a thousand people converge on the shores of Lake Smithville, an hour north of Kansas City, to spend more than a week recreating the medieval, Renaissance, and ancient eras of the pre-seventeenth century world.
Most of them are members of the Society for Creative Anachronism and its central-US regional group, the Kingdom of Calontir, which covers Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and northwest Arkansas – although many travel from as far away as the Rocky Mountains and the Gulf Coast.
We offer you our hospitality. Come join us and experience the pagentry of medieval combat and archery, historic arts and crafts, fun parties, and… even a real Viking longship.
