Calafia Bardic
Join us for the Family Bardic Concert!
Starting after Court and the Volunteer Raffle, around 7:00PM Sunday May 27, we'll have a great family concert full of songs, stories, dancing, and all sorts of crazy-making. Good for all ages!
We will have some snacks and drinks for the kids, and we encourage people to bring beverages, blankets, and flashlights for the walk back to camp. The concert will end at 9:30.
Then, after all the folks 18 and under are encouraged to move along.... It's time to tuck away all the regalia and join us for the ever popular
Bawdy Bardic Concert! (New! Improved! With even more Snarkiness!)
At 10:00 PM at the Open Ramada, Sunday May 27
Dress warm, Bring a beverage, blanket and friend to share. Remember, "What happens at war, stays at war!" t.m.
We'll be joined by a lot of people with amazingly funny stuff who will deny everything later!
Many thanks to the Potrero War staff, our volunteers, performers and the merchants of the war for all their help!
