A weekend of halfling themed fun awaits!

Think Renaissance Faire but as a cozy getaway weekend. You’ll dress as a charming, comfort-loving, food-obsessed halfling and spend the weekend in a rustic village making friends, playing games, dancing, and sharing stories by the fire. It’s all about community, cozy vibes, and low-stakes mischief; no hit points, no win conditions. Just a bunch of silly halflings appreciating (and gently annoying) each other.

Tickets start at $150 and you can rent cabin bunks for a bit more. Prices increase by $12.50 at the end of March and April, so grab yours early! Admission includes a fully catered weekend of workshops, games, performances, endless snacks, and yes, second breakfast.

Tickets

Please choose a date

The Dance

In the evening, there will be a live music concert with dancing.

Try to find a date (romantic or not) with gossip, invitations, or grand or clumsy & awkward gestures. Psst. It’s tradition to gift your date flowers or a trinket! Have fun looking around for the perfect item.

Games

Saturday afternoon there are field games and light competitions. We provide a few field games, but you and other players will bring in-period lawn games and activities (Croquet and Bocce are great, Inflatable Sumo matches are not)

Meals and Potluck

Enjoy three hearty catered meals from the Public House, plus three food showcases where you can share your creations and compete for ribbons. There will be a TON of food at this event!

The Show and Tale

In the late afternoon, we’ll have the “Show & Tale”. It’s like a talent show, but you can present anything: skits, music, artistic creations, etc. Each entry only gets 90 seconds, but you can join forces to extend the timer. (for example, a 2-halfling duet gets 180 seconds) No single entry can exceed 5 minutes.

This event is a Showcase with its own Planner, Judges, and Ribbons to be won.

Family Roleplay

Your character will be part of a Halfling family with its own unique quirks and traditions. Together, you’ll plan, play, and try to outshine the other families. Expect lighthearted rivalries, like accusing someone of cheating at checkers, and settling disputes in whimsical or wholesome ways (like a dance-off or whittling contest).


 Learn about them! 

There's a lot to do...

But Showcases are special!

Show off your food, crafts, or creations in playful county fair-style contests! Judges hand out ribbons for standout entries, and a Planner helps organize the fun (including the weeks leading up to the event). Each showcase has a Planner, a player who organizes the event and helps people present their entries. If you’re interested in being a planner, reach out to the game staff in advance! Many showcases have a few Judges, usually 1-2 per family, selected by the Planner during the game. Each judge chooses a favorite showcase entry and hands out a special ribbon as an award.

While there are ribbons awarded, it is important to note that this event is not a real competition. Each family judge may present a ribbon for different reasons. For example, a Higgleby may present a ribbon to the sneakiest of entries (eg. a cheesecake dessert that is cleverly disguised as sausages and mashed potato) while a Bluffwater judge may present a ribbon to the most complicated creation! Enter only what you feel your character would contribute to such an occasion.

We encourage you to select recipes with minimal prep requirements, as the campsite kitchen will be occupied with prep for larger meals. There are power outlets in each cabin, but we don’t have fridge space available for player use.

How We Play

Play for fun, for drama, and to lift each other up! This LARP is about pranks, friendly smack talk, and warm camaraderie. There’s no “winning” here, so share the spotlight and you can even try to lose on purpose if it seems like fun. Remember that everyone’s the protagonist of their own story, and even when playing against each other, we’re always playing together.

Key Themes: Play to lift, Co-creation & storytelling, Community & friendship, Friendly competition, Camaraderie, Sharing & fun

Unwelcome Themes: Racism, homophobia, sexism, transphobia, sexual violence.

Immersion: Keep the fantasy alive by hiding modern items—pour drinks into mugs, throw away wrappers, and stay in the moment.

Trinkets: Share small gifts like pins, flowers, or toys. These discussion items can be traded, collected, and earned from each other!

Emergent Plot

Some people like to develop their own “plots”, little stories that unfold during the game. The easiest way to do this is to play off each other and let “your plot” emerge from your and other player’s reactions. If something feels like a story, participate in a way that makes it more interesting & fun, and try to wrap it up by Saturday night. 

Some plotmaking tools include... 

React Big: Celebrate cool moments, buy into others’ roleplay, and make each other’s roleplay & character concepts matter.

Halfling Drama: Gossip, family squabbles, cider debates, and bribing or tattling on judges.

Mischief: Pranks, stunts, or playful annoyances (like a well-timed rubber snake).

Invent Problems for Others to Solve: Maybe your character needs something; perhaps a recipe or even advice. Pull others in and maybe offer a reward!
