Calafia Anniversary
Calafia Anniversary
October 10, 2026 7:30 am - 5:00 pm
El Monte Park, 15805 El Monte Rd, Lakeside, CA 92040
See description
Come join the Barony of Calafia at our “New Year’s Harvest” Anniversary event. Our theme this year is inspired by the Navajo season of Gháájí', which translates to “half” and describes the separation of seasons between Summer and Winter. This is not only our New Year with the rise of the first new moon, but also the end of the harvest season. We invite the populace to show off your harvest best and celebrate the beginning of Calafia’s new year with us!
SCHEDULE:
7:30am - Site opens for set up
8am - Gate opens
8:30am - Lysts opens
9am - Opening court (at Their Excellencies leisure)
3:30pm - Closing court (at Their Excellencies leisure)
5pm - Site closes (must be off site)
EVENT REGISTRATION: Adult Event Registration, $25. Adult Member Discount Event Registration, $15. Youth under 18 are guests of the Barony. Cash and checks accepted at gate. Make checks payable to “SCA Inc./Barony of Calafia”. The county charges a $3 fee per car at the park entrance, cash only.
COMBAT SCENARIOS: There will be competitions for Armored, Rapier, Cut & Thrust, and Youth combat, to select the Baronial Champions for the upcoming year.
We will not have Archery or Thrown Weapons at Anniversary this year - both of those competitions will instead be held during the Calafia Equestrian Championship event in December.
ACTIVITIES: Activities will include a Dirty Dozen competition, the ever-popular “Taste of Calafia” brewers competition, a mini-Archery range, and more! Details will be announced on the FB event page when available.
DIRTY DOZEN LARGESSE COMPETITION: There will be a Dirty Dozen Largesse Competition this year. The winner will be announced at closing court and prizes to be disseminated afterward. Each participant will be able to pick a prize in the order of their ranking. Entrants are advised to create 12 items based on a theme that is suitable for largesse. For example: 12 needle books, 12 hats from different (or the same) period(s), 12 items suitable for a specific time period, 12 children’s toys, etc. Note: items that traditionally are used in pairs should include twelve pairs, so 12 socks are not suitable as it is only 6 pairs.
All entries should be tagged with the item type, artisan’s name and province, and be ready to be given the day of the competition. Items do not need to be documented as this is not an Arts and Sciences competition. Items should not have heraldry on them as they are meant to be presented in other areas.
Judging will be done by the populace in the following manner: Each entrant display will have a cup placed next to it. During the event, anyone may put a provided token into the cup accompanying their choice. Once voting closes, and all votes have been tallied, the entrant with the most tokens in their cup gets the first choice of 3 items from any of the entries as a prize. Each subsequent entrant then chooses from the remaining entries in order, according to the popular vote. Each entry may only be chosen once as a prize. The remaining 11 items from each entry will be given to Their Excellencies for use as largesse.
TASTE OF CALAFIA:
Calafia's Anniversary is Saturday, October 10 and The Calafian Brewers Guild will be holding a "Taste of Calafia" in the same manner as was done at Potrero. All submissions need to be a fermented (Ales, Meads, Ciders, Etc.) or non-alcoholic drink, as this will ensure we meet the rules of the site. (No Cordials or mixed drinks). Minimum size should be at least 22oz or bigger. If you would like to submit a drink for the event please let me or Triona know so we can get an idea of the numbers and styles that will be offered. Please reach out with any questions.
CALAFIA ARCHERY:
Calafia Archery is excited to welcome Order of the Mark Vigilant, Ronan de Bhal, as he hosts a special mini‑archery range booth as part of his wandering vigil. All ages are welcome to stop by and take a few shots on the mini range — no experience needed, just a smile and a willingness to have a bit of fun with our suction‑cup arrows and rubber‑band bows. It’s a perfect chance to share in the joy of archery and celebrate this wonderful moment with Vigilant Ronan.
LUNCH:
Food will be prepared and provided by the Willie family clan and its matriarch. Lunch will feature a modern take on traditional homestyle foods eaten at this seasonal change. Vegetarian options will be offered, water will be available. Please bring your feast gear. $10 suggested donation.

Isles Anniversary
Isles Anniversary
October 17, 2026 9:00 am - 6:00 pm
Tuckers Grove Park, 4800 Cathedral Oaks Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 93111, USA
See description
Shore Leave
This summer’s voyage being hot and hard, steer your vessel to Isles for a day of shore leave, before your crew maroons you to a short lifetime of it. Join us beneath the coastal oaks at Tucker’s Grove Park, collect your pay (which comes with the site fee), and we’ll help you spend it. Or just lay about in the shade. It’s your shore leave. There’s no need to haul canvas, as there’s nowhere to set it up, being as the trees and a tavern are already here.
The tavern will be well equipped with pie (lunch included), brews from local ports (a Caidan Brewer’s Guild tasting), board and brothel games, and plenty of tables. Bring your favorite nautical songs and we’ll reward the best chanteyman (singers eat first). Bring your swords and we’ll gamble on the fights. Bring whatever amusements you will (bowls, kubb, tug of war) and we’ll wager on that too.
Site Opens at 9am, and closes at 6pm. Morning announcements/court will be at 10:30.
Site Fee: Adults non-members $20, Adult members $10, Children free. Make checks payable to SCA Inc/Shire of Isles.
Directions: Make your way to Hwy 101, exit Turnpike Rd and follow Turnpike Rd inland until it dead-ends in the park. Once in the parking lot, turn right and follow the road to the end. The parking lot is on your right, just before a gate, and about 60 yards from the site. We will have carts & porters to bring your gear that last stretch.

Arts and Sciences:
The Tortoise & Hare Competitions
This arts competition is geared towards watching the improvement of our artisans over time. Typically hosted at Dreiburgen Anniversary - there are two categories for entrants to choose from The Tortoise and The Hare. Entries will be judged based on the forms used at Dreiburgen Summer Arts 2026 - with a winner from each category & there will be an overall populace choice prize.
The Hare Category is some skill, art or science that you have picked up in the last year - ideally since the previous October. Share with us something that you are just in the process of learning.
The Tortoise Category is some skill, art or science that you have been practicing or working on for more than one year - bonus points may be awarded if the entry is an art that you have previously entered into The Hare competition so we can see the progress you have made.

Artisans Village Dreiburgen Anniversary 2026
In addition to The Tortoise & Hare competitions, we will be hosting an Artisans Village under the large Dreiburgen pop-up. We would love to have artisans display their Arts and Sciences and have a place to sit and gather to talk about their discoveries.
These displays will not be judged - we would love to see what you're passionate about. Our theme this year is ‘friends don' t let friends volunteer alone’, we thought that it would be fun to have a space to gather around with our arts, sciences, & friends. Throughout the day there will be tracks of time that focus on topics that are still TBD. During these track times, we will have some laurels and other subject matter experts coming to visit and mingle with the artisans. (If you are a laurel or subject matter expert that would like to volunteer some time or topics to this event please email artsandsciences.officer@dreiburgen.sca-caid.org)
Bring your things and stuff and questions and let's build our artisans up and encourage more discovery.
