We hold regular gatherings to share research by donning appropriate medieval garb and doing things the way that our ancestors might themselves have done. An SCA event is somewhat like one of the popular medieval or renaissance fairs with some big differences. The events are not advertised in any way other than in SCA publications like the regional newsletter. The public is invited to join SCA events however we ask that all attendees wear some attempt at pre-16th century garb so as not to disturb the ambiance. Check with your local group for assistance in obtaining such clothing.
Regional events are sure to have a royal court where awards for service are announced. .
