August 13th & 14th - Fairytales & Fantasy Adventures
Once upon a time in Merriwick, a land far, far away, there ruled a beautiful and strong Queen. She loved the fairytales told to her as a child and sought to bring those characters to life. So, once a year, she held a huge celebration in the town, and all were invited. On our 12th Season, join us as we revel in all things fantastical, magical, and the storybook tales that are timeless. Dress up as your favorite fairytale character or don your best whimsical attire and get ready for a weekend of wonder & fun!
August 20th & 21st- Across the Multiverse
It is known that Merriwick sits on an area of mysterious power and strange events have taken place there. For one weekend only, there will be a rip in time & space, allowing characters from all across the Multiverse to converge in one place: Merriwick. To welcome & impress these strange characters, Queen Bess has decided to have a weekend celebration of ALL celebrations. This last weekend is dedicated to Cons everywhere & their fans (we know you’ve missed them). Help us finish out our epic 12th Season strong by dressing up in your favorite Cosplay from ANY genre! Renaissance-era twist on Cosplay is encouraged! We’re throwing the most inclusive party in the Multiverse! Huazzah!
