See the colourful clothing, smell the food prepared over open fires, and experience the foot soldiers’ camp. That’s right, the troops will be setting up camp and spending the weekend with us at Fall Foto Fest.

This will be a great photo addition to our weekend event. We will host morning workshops using the re-enactors as our backdrop and then, mid morning you’ll have the opportunity to photograph the action during their mock battle. Each day one choose from one of six hands on workshops with our instructors. Workshops listed below.
