family fun theme park filled with fine continuous
entertainment, juried crafts and artisans, rides and
interactive games, and foods fit for a King. Step back in

chivalry, where brave knights battle
on the open jousting field for the
favor of the Queen, fair damsels,
and the roaring crowd. Join

and the Knights of the Round Table
as they visit the village of Avaloch
for a day of Celebration and
