What do you do at 5 PM on Thursday of Peace Week? You wend your way to the Performing Arts Tent to see some of your favorite performers from across the Known World. This year we offer 57 performances and six Afternoon Series Expos where you can show up and perform. Whether you enjoy Shakespeare, a rollicking bit of music, spine-tingling stories, comedy, or Commedia, we have you covered. Take a look at this year's season of fun. We're saving you a seat.
~PEACE WEEK~
I travel the paths I know so well
Through bee-loved fields and over dark hill
And as I see memories from long before
I feel you walk with me once more
I hear your words and remember those days
In years past, when you cheered and waved
Each step that I take your voice I miss more,

It turns out that neither the Midrealm nor the East were victorious in this 49th Pennsic War. That honour goes to six-year-old Henri Singleman of the East, according to the authority of said six-year-old, who upon the occasion of his appearing in photos TWICE in the pages of this publication, exclaimed, “I won Pennsic!”

The arts and sciences in our Society can take many varied forms. Coins, books, hand-forged swords, wines; the list goes on and on. There is, however, one art that rarely finds itself highlighted in our Society, despite the huge influence it had on the Middle Ages throughout the world: vinegar.
