Muse’s Masque

Muse’s Masque Concept and Cost Muse’s Masque is Caid’s newest arts & sciences event. This evening event is a social space andnon-competitive arts showcase that gives us an opportunity to come together as a community and raise funds to help that community grow.

The event is not selling any tickets at the door and is pre-register only. Both standard tickets ($50 member, $60 non-member) and a more limited number of patron’s tickets ($100/$110) are available. Those patron’s tickets will include a special upgraded site token and your name and arms on a Patron’s Roll of Arms. (More info on that below.)

We have a variety of classes and workshops that are feeding into this event over the course of the next year, leading up to August 29, 2026. There should be a Muse’s Masque themed Collegium track this coming year. Keep an eye out for many other upcoming opportunities to learn dance, play music, and get help with costuming.
 
Site
The beautiful site has plentiful parking. Join us in the Banquet Hall of the David L. Baker Golf Course. They have a rock solid air conditioning system.

Food and Beverages

The event includes the cost of a variety of period party foods made by a collection of Caid’s fabulous chefs, but does not include a sit-down feast. We’re also setting up a potluck dessert bar so if you’re a baker you’ve got a place to show off. The venue is managing an on-site bar where alcohol will be available for purchase.
 

Baubling
There will be a parlor with games of skill and chance. There will be opportunities to wager your baubles in good-natured gambling.

 

We will be offering several bags of notable and special baubles for sale for $5 a bag at the event. (Those that have small items of interest, be they unique tokens from SCA experiences or well loved and traveled baubles from the gaming community, and would like to donate to this cause, please speak to His Excellency Diego de Palma, mka Benjamin Dean Doggett.)

 

Free bauble bags will be available as well for those that wish to start their collection and start playing at games. We will also be hosting a fundraising chess tournament with a $5 buy-in with a fabulous prize. Participants are welcome to come and bring their own historical games to share. We look forward to playing with all of you!

Fashion Show
Have you wanted to showcase a piece to the wider art community without the pressure of a competition? Do you want a way to give back to Caid’s arts & sciences community while also displaying art? Do you want a long term project with community support? Then we have an opportunity for you! Muse’s Masque is hosting a runway show and artisan showcase to benefit Caid’s underfunded arts community. Artisans can either be sponsored to create a piece that is showcased at the Muse’s Masque Fashion Show by someone who donates at least $50 on their behalf and/or donate an unfitted piece such as an accessory to be showcased and silent auctioned off. All proceeds go directly to supporting the Arts (and thus the artisans) within our wonderful kingdom. We’ll start the bidding at $50. You can sign up for the fashion show once you buy your tickets. The show will be limited to twenty walks due to time constraints and other Masque activities, so sign up early and showcase your progress at events throughout the year! We have classes and workshops planned to support artisans who are interested in participating, but may want or need help to actualize what they’ve dreamed up. Artisans in need of additional assistance should reach out to Ludwig Hebenstreit von Augspurg (who is findable on Discord as ZeBrashaw and as Ezekiel Bradshaw-Little on Facebook). We may be able to help, or connect you to the right expert. The theme of the show is “The Florentine Renaissance.” We encourage people to be on theme, but it’s more important that you’re inspired! So, come showcase your skills. You can walk your piece down the runway or include a model as part of your plan or team. See you on the runway!

 

Dancing and Music.

You can expect plenty of dancing at the Masque and live music as well. The set list below will be taught a few dances at a time throughout the coming year at various events with refreshers available the day of.
