Event Information

There is additional parking on Forest Road and other neighborhood streets. NOTE: You need to park in the direction of traffic. The police are ticketing if you are not in the direction of traffic. Direction of traffic means that your right tires need to be next to the curb. This is only applicable for parallel parking.

This is an ADA-compliant indoor site.  There is an accessible door on the side of the building.  Please call or text Site Steward (number will be posted) if assistance is needed as sometimes this door is unintentionally blocked/propped to prevent full access.

There are indoor, accessible bathrooms as well.

Parking near the left side will be reserved for those needing mobility accommodations or handicapped parking.

The solstice is almost upon us and with that the longest night of the year.  In Iceland it is the time when the Yule Lads, their fearsome mother troll mother, Gryla, and her terrifying pet, Jolakotturinn, the Yule Cat, come down from the mountains to wreck havoc amongst the villages and frighten children into good behavior.

It is only by locking our doors, securing our kitchens and barns, dressing in at least one piece of new garb and gathering in the Great Hall for mutual protection that we may thwart their harassment.

So come gather with us as we defy these monsters and celebrate with festivities, amusements, competitions, dancing, music, story-telling and a smorgasbord of finger foods and tasty delights. Please bring a dessert to share before the Yule lads get to them.

For any checks please include your modern and SCA name, Membership Number if applicable and what is included in your payment.
