What happens at an SCA event?

SCA stands for Society for Creative Anachronism. This group focuses on historical reenactments. They can cover different eras, from Vikings to Renaissance and more. While the exact rules vary from group to group, they strive for as much historical accuracy as possible. Many SCA events will be battles. On the other hand, others focus on the artistic and scientific aspects of reenacting. In fact, many groups will have events dedicated to these topics. Further, SCA generally favors historical accuracy. Thus it is most important to first make sure to reach out to your local organizations to find out all their rules and activities.
