The Open Fields Medieval Festival was featured as a "Pick for Kids" by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce in the Summer/Fall 2013 Vermont Vacation Guide.
The Open Fields Medieval Festival will be taking a break in 2026!
We’ve made the difficult decision NOT to hold the 2026 Medieval Festival.
We truly appreciate the support we’ve had through the years from so many community members, but it’s a difficult event to pull off, by such a small school community. We will keep you posted as we make decisions about the event, long-term.
