Iowa Events – Fall 2018

Sept 29-30, Frosted Helm – Come Home to the Heartland, Des Moines, IA

Frosted Helm is an example of a local event held by an Iowa group.  The Des Moines SCA chapter is hosting an event that will feature combat, archery and other SCA activities.

Guests and new members are welcome to attend our weekend events however it is required that all who attend have an attempt at medieval clothing.  The best way to do this is to check out one of your local meetings before an event.  Each local group is prepared to assist newcomers with clothing and further explanations about how they too can explore the past with us.

Oct 13-14, Fall Crown Tournament, St. Paul, IA

The Crown Tournament is the contest to decide the next King and Queen of our Kingdom.  The best fighters and their consorts will gather in St. Paul Iowa on October 13th.  SCA members from across Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri will gather to see who wins the crown, but also gather to talk and learn.

Guests and new members are welcome to attend the Crown Tournament as well, however it is required that all who attend have an attempt at medieval clothing.  The best way to do this is to check out one of your local meetings before an event.  Each local group is prepared to assist newcomers with clothing and further explanations about how they too can explore the past with us.

There are many more events that are held in our region by groups outside of Iowa, some are just across the border.  Many of these events can be found on the kingdom calendar.  This website is a great way to see all of the adventures people are having in the region – adventures you are invited to explore yourself.
