What happens at an SCA event?
SCA stands for Society for Creative Anachronism. This group focuses on historical reenactments. While the exact rules vary from group to group, they strive for as much historical accuracy as possible. Many SCA events will be battles. Others focus on the artistic and scientific aspects of reenacting. In fact, many groups will have symposiums dedicated to these topics. Make sure to reach out to your local organizations to find out all their rules and activities.
What if I don’t see a Ren faire or LARP event near me in British Columbia?
If you live near the US or a provincial border, don’t forget to look nearby. For example, you can check out the pages of Alberta, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. These areas may have events that are close to you as well. We list events by the state or province. Many events are close to state or national borders.
In addition, SCA organizations will often have events that are intended for people from further away. Pennsic, a popular SCA event, is the best example of this. It includes people from across North America. You can contact local SCA or LARP organizers to find out if there are other events that you could attend. Of course, you can always check out events across the United States and Canada.
