Midwinter’s Revel: Lunar New Year – January 31, 2026

Pilgrimages were arduous undertakings in the Middle Ages.  There were many reasons to go on a pilgrimage:  to atone for your sins, to honorthe memory of a loved one, escape persecution, or simply because all the cool kids were doing it.  Failure to extend hospitality to pilgrims was considered a grievous sin!  Please join the Barony of Lochmere as we extend hospitality to all pilgrims on their way to 3 major pilgrimage sites:  Santiago de Compostela (Spain), Rome (Italy), and Jerusalem (Middle East).  Regardless of your destination or level of piety, there will be feasting, dancing, singing, classes, games, Arts and Sciences displays and competitions more than sufficient to nourish your body and your mind!
