A message from our Stewards:

Góðan dag, good Gentles of Caid and visitors from Lands the Known World over!

On behalf of Their Excellencies, Þorsteinn and Asa, we welcome and invite you to attend Potrero War 2025! This year’s theme is Raising a Viking Village, celebrating the intriguing and complex lives of Viking and Scandinavian cultures. 

Pre-Registration/Land Allocation will be live at noon on Monday, February 17th!

Pricing increases $5 on April 17th, 2025, and again $5 after Pre-Registration closes, so as they say in Iceland – Áfram með Smjörið!

Be sure to come back often to get additional information on the war! We will be adding content in the upcoming months with details on Participating Merchants, Volunteering Opportunities, Special Events, Fighting Scenarios, and Arts and Sciences Classes – and more!

We look forward to seeing you at our Viking Village at Potrero Park in May!

For more questions, please contact stewards@potrerowar.sca-caid.org.
