Immuel Lutheran's Reformation Renfaire

Craigmeister • August 13, 2019

Good day. Early last fall, a school in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma let me know that they were interested in expanding their annual Reformation Fair. They had heard that I visit a lot of Renaissance Faires and wanted to know if I could help advise them. I posted about the situation before I was able to arrange a meeting with their planners.

Their planners are some VERY busy teachers and I didn’t get a reply about a meeting for several months so I thought that I wouldn’t be needed. In the past few months though, the teachers’ schedules loosened up and we have had some meetings. So, in short, I’d like to announce the Immanuel Lutheran’s Reformation Renaissance Faire !

Due to other events at the school, it will be held on Saturday, November 2nd, 2019. However, the date in 2020 will be on October 24th. For all of you who are committed to the Hot Springs (AR) Medfaire or the King’s Medfaire in Glenpool (OK) this year, we would love to see you in 2020! This year, you could visit ILRRF and/or 1 of these Medfaires (or all 3 if you like driving).

There will be a free admission craft fair going on inside the school/church at the same time the Renfaire is going on outside. The Renfaire will be free for kids 10 & under or $5 for all over the age of 10. Most of the entertainment is already lined up but we will be taking vendor applications and perhaps a few performers who would work for tips and to sell cd’s, t-shirts, etc. The average attendance of the existing craft fair is about 800 people each year.

There should be plenty of fun things for kids and adults to do all day including archery and working trebuchets! This event will be held on church grounds so I’d appreciate it if you will tell me if I’m misbehaving that day. HUZZAH!

Seeking some Scottish or Celtic entertainment? Click on the link to my page that re-visits several such events around Oklahoma over the past 2 decades. Since the OK Scotfest has been canceled for 2025, you can visit the Oklahoma Highland Gathering in Choctaw on October 10 - 12. They have Highland Games, bagpipes, Celtic music & more. It is a great event! This rounds out my special visit pages. I will add links to them as I venture to events this Fall, 2026 & beyond. https://www.meistersrealm.com/re-live-an-oklahoma-celtic/scottish-fest-here
