Night of the Dragon Festival at Stony Creek

Saturday, October 21

Hear ye, hear ye, dragons are descending over Stony Creek Metropark, and we’re calling all kings and queens, knights and peasants, princes and princesses and everyone in between to join us for a medieval themed festival! Enjoy live performances and entertainment, along with activities for children. Talk a walk through the Woods of the Ridge on the Torch Fire Trail, where you can gather around bonfires and enjoy a photo opp. Try your hand at axe throwing or stone tossing. Dress in your favorite medieval attire and bring the little ones in their costumes, there will be a costume contest for both adults and kids.

Throughout the event there will be barbeque offerings and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase. As the sky darkens, we will feature live astronomy presentations and sky viewing opportunities to see the Draco constellation that honors the mythical serpent dragon Draco and learn about the Draconids Meteor Shower that occurs annually earlier in October.
