Rendezvous at the Bridge XXXVI

Join us for our 36th Rendezvous at the Bridge, back at Lincoln State Park this year! 

Rendezvous at the Bridge is a weekend-long event highlighting most elements of SCA activity, from martial tournaments to arts and sciences classes to dancing to (in our opinion) the best feast in the Known World.

The pre-registration link will be available on the event website closer to the event.

Site Accessibility: The site is accessible to wheelchair and mobility aids.

Pets and service animals are welcome, but except during coursing, pets must be leashed at all times with leashes less than 6’ in length. Please be courteous and clean up after your animal companion.

Bringing minors?

There will be NO drop-off child-care! Children attending classes must be accompanied by a responsible teen or an adult. Children may not be left unattended.

Attention! For those who will be bringing children not their own: There are TWO forms that you will need to bring for each child. They both need to be signed by the child’s parent or legal guardian. ONE MUST BE NOTARIZED per Indiana law.

This form needs the notarization and should be kept with the child at all times: http://www.sca.org/docs/pdf/treatminor-notary.pdf

This form is the usual Minor Waiver: http://www.sca.org/docs/pdf/chldwaiv.pdf.

PLEASE have both these forms filled out and signed/notarized where appropriate for each child you will be bringing that you are not the parent or legal guardian of. This requirement is out of our control and the children affected will not be allowed to attend if they are not completed properly before arrival. Thank you.
