Brush up yer Shakespeare! Start quotin’ him now." "Brush up yer Shakespeare, an’ da wimmin yous will wow!

Join the Barony of Dreiburgen at Rancho Jurupa Park (4800 Crestmore Road, Riverside, CA 92509) for a day of mayhem and silliness that’s truly Shakespearean.

For fighters (armored and rapier), there will be a Villains Tourney. It operates much like a traditional double elimination tourney with the following twist: any fighter may register a single “dirty trick” with lists (poisoned dagger, backstabbing henchman, murderous spouse, etc.). That trick may be used once any time up until the final round for an automatic win. Be careful, though, double kills caused by “dirty tricks” are destructive to both parties. Prizes will be given for the Victor of the Tourney and Best Death.

For those whose thrills are found outside the field of combat, there will also be several activities and competitions, including:

  • A Bardic performance contest – best monologue, song, or (brief) scene from any of The Bard of Avon’s works
  • A cooking contest featuring your best Shakespearean inspired dish (documentation of the dish itself is a bonus, but you must provide your Shakespearean connection to win)
  • A Shakespearean Character contest – Come dressed as your favorite (or least favorite) Shakespearean character. Be able to explain your sartorial choices to the judges.
  • Shakespearean Scavenger Hunt
  • Youth activities

There will also be several Halloween-themed activities to celebrate the season.

The site opens at 7:00am and closes at 6:00pm. Unfortunately, we cannot have merchants at this park. The site is damp. It is handicapped accessible and pets are permitted on leashes.

Directions: From the 15 freeway and points west, find your way to the 60 freeway eastbound. Exit at Rubidoux, turn right. At Mission Road, turn left. At Crestmore Road, turn right. The entrance to the park is past Crestmore Manor on the left. Once you have paid fees at the gate, we are at the very back of the park to the right. From the 215 freeway and points east, take the 60 freeway westbound to Rubidoux and turn left. From here, follow the directions as given.

Site Fee: $5 for adult members, $3 for children 5 to 12, children under 5 are guests of the barony. The $5 surcharge for non-members will be requested. Make checks payable to SCA/Barony of Dreiburgen. Also, the site charges a $3 per person charge to be paid at the gate upon entry (in & out ok).
