Event details

Jehan's Fencing and Fighting at the Fort returns!  Join us for a day of rapier combat (including the infamous stair pit) and armored combat in an atmospheric setting on the Penobscot River.  In addition to combat, there will be an A&S display, no documentation required.  There will be a fire to warm yourself, and places to fight or fence if the weather is inclement.  NO DAYBOARD, so bring your own picnic lunch.  Be aware that there is rough terain, a steep ramp into the fort, and a gravel road from handicapped parking to the fort entrance.

Site Opens: 9:00 am
Site Closes: 5:00 pm
