Weekend events, such as these, are held in different strongholds around the state and in other states a couple of times a year. And it's typical for those in nearby strongholds, and sometimes even far-flung strongholds, to journey to the event. Banquets are held quite often in combination with tournaments. At banquets, all the SCA players gather in the hall of the site where the tourney is taking place. Most of the general population sit along long tables with the royalty typically gathered at the head table.

LaCoss said other typical dishes include baked cheese, roast beef and quiche. Events and banquets also frequently have musicians. Besides fighting, Baskett performs as a musician. I play flute. Baskett also said that many simple dances are included, such as village and peasant circle dances, and that participation is high, even from the guys.
