The La Conner WA “Fables Faire”

The Washington Shakespearean Festival will be there with their Glob Theatre and performers, Scholars, Demonstrators, Games, and Armor and Costume Selfie-Station… There will be open times available for members of the public to take the stages with a song or story, a performance or a comic bit. Members of various historical re-creation societies will be demonstrating the arts and crafts, the armor and clothing, the music and the games from History.

Come dance the MayPole, join in a Round, try your hand at spinning wool, visit the many local merchants and eateries (and brew houses) in La Conner. Spend the night before at one of the super comfortable hotels, and visit the rest of this magic Skagit Valley on the way to and from.

Under two hours north of Seattle, come and enjoy your day visiting the wonderful magical Renaissance and every story you have ever loved.

Bring the Magic and we will blend the spells together.
