Central Illinois Highland Games                             Springfield, IL
 The Springfield Highland Games and Celtic Festival is an event of the St. Andrew's Society of Central Illinois.  The Society is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to keeping Celtic traditions alive.  Our membership works tirelessly to teach our culture to future generations and to educate the community about all things Celtic.  The Springfield Highland Games is just one way we do that.
In addition to competitive events, the festival features many demonstrations throughout the day.  Rugby matches, storytelling, music, animal exhibits, a large children's area, and much, much more.  There are also several merchandise and food vendors, many of which will be showcasing Scottish and Irish goods.

Illinois Renaissance Faire                             Urbana, IL
At The Illinois Renaissance Festival, you can step back in time to the 16th Century and relive history and traditions of long ago. This full scale, live re-enactment experience is like no other. The Faire offers you a chance to visit the days of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I.
There will be ribbons and flags waving in the wind, the sound of lutes, the lilt of foreign accents, and the smells of exotic foods cooking, as well as artisans hawking their wares, jugglers amusing you and the ribaldry of actors performing on various stages. You'll see bold knights competing for the favor of Her Majesty's Court and their lady's affection.

Stronghold's Olde English Faire                     Oregon, IL
During the first weekend in October, Stronghold transforms itself from a modern retreat and meeting facility to the site of the Olde English Faire. Wandering players perform both onstage and off as crafters and merchants display their wares. Minstrels fill the pathways and stages with melodies while children gather in the Gremlin’s Garden for stories and other children’s activities. These and many more delights await you at the Olde English Faire!
