Battle reenactments will be held throughout the day.

This must be the annual re-enactment of the Battle of Hastings with the group I used to do medieval re-enacting with.

Some pics from two years ago... mandatory pirate content? Ok, two of the Pirate Brethren are in this pick. Scurvy Hanna is on the left wearing the dark colored leather lamellar armour. Palmetto is two down from him.

And our very own Not So Young Jim Hawkins!!! There he is, in the Saxon shield wall!

Note. Marietta does a timeline event in April, or May. It's a good event. Lots of different time periods.
