Muse's Masque
August 29, 2026 ** 4:30-9:30 PM
Muse's Masque is Caid's newest Arts & Sciences event. This evening event is a social space and non-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-registration 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.)
Patron Registration closes July 16, 2026 at 10 PM (Pacific).
Standard Registration closes August 21, 2026 at 10 PM (Pacific).
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
Your admission to the Masque includes an assortment of period party foods made by a collection of Caid's fabulous chefs. The meal is being presented as a series of social small plates, rather than a sit-down feast. While dessert is included in the cost of your ticket, we’re also setting up a bonus potluck dessert area for additional sweets. 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.)
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
This non-competitive showcase is available to either individuals or teams. The twenty spots are available first-come first-served to participants who have purchased tickets. Only one person from a team needs to have purchased tickets at the time of registration. The showcase will happen after the third set of dancing (approximately 7:30 PM).
Auction
We've planned a silent auction as a further means of raising funds for our arts community. Artisans are encouraged to, but not required to, provide an item. If the item can be worn, you can use the fashion show to highlight it, otherwise, a table will be set aside for item display. The silent auction will close at approximately 8:30 PM. Only PayPal payments will be accepted for silent auction items.

Patron's Roll of Arms
Your name and arms will be painted by Caid's scribes and displayed prominently at the event on a Roll of Arms. It can include a coronet, wreath, or cap of maintenance (where applicable) and can also reference your chosen affiliations (barony, household, etc.) so long as there's a applicable registered badge registered with the College of Heralds. A preferences form will be sent with your patron ticket receipt.
