Performers

Order of Epona - Veteran and woman owned, the esteemed Order of Epona traces its roots back to 2010, when a fellowship of kindred spirits, bound by a passion for horses and the allure of bygone eras, embarked upon a noble quest. What began as a mere gathering of friends has since blossomed into a renowned troupe of Knights, Ladies, and their noble steeds, captivating audiences far and wide with their awe-inspiring performances.

The Courting Jesters - Not merely jesters of the court, but courters of the very heart! This delightful duo of delightful fools—Ace and Rosie—shall leave thee breathless with laughter and amazement.

Knight's Tourney - Gather 'round, good folk, and prepare yourselves for a rollicking good time at the Knight's Tourney! Led by the dynamic duo of Matt Vidal and Chris Wheeler, seasoned performers of the stage in the illustrious Black Hills, this spectacle promises to be a riotous blend of action, romance, thrills, and comedy - all topped off with the pièce de résistance: two knights engaged in glorious combat! 

Black Moon Free Company - The Black Moon Free Company is a noble band of armored warriors hailing from the fair city of Rapid, within the realm of South Dakota. Devoted to the chivalric art of Buhurt—a sport most fierce and full-contact—they don armor of steel and wield weapons of rattan and metal, clashing in glorious melee as true knights of old.

Aluma the Littlest Dragon - Through much praise, a sprinkle of charm, and perhaps a goblet or two of mead, Kazimir hath convinced the small—yet most mighty—Aluma the Littlest Dragon to join him on this grand adventure! 

The Dashing Pirate -  The Dashing Pirate, who didst first arrive as a humble guest last year, did so charm the crowd (and our hearts) that we hath invited him back as an official performer! With snark in his speech and a twinkle in his eye, he’s sure to plunder a smile—or perchance a coin—from thee!
