Reenactor Participation
All participant impressions from the Napoleonic period are welcome: military, civilian, French, allies, infantry, and cavalry.
Please be as historically accurate/plausible in your clothing and gear as possible, but we’re not going to “police” you. Our aim is inclusion and growth of Napoleonic reenactment.
Set up is encouraged on Friday May 2nd from 2pm onward. For safety reasons, vehicles will not be allowed in encampments during public hours.
Participant camping is encouraged on Friday and Saturday nights.
There is no “admission” or “site” fee to participants, but since our parent organization Brigade Napoleon provides event insurance coverage, all participants should be members, though it is not required to attend. Annual membership is $25usd, and should be paid directly to the organization.
