Oktoberfecht 2025 - Registration Open!

October 9th-12th

Join us in our annual celebration of HEMA, piggybacking on the themes of Kronprinz Ludwig’s marriage to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, Oktoberfecht is a weekend full of exploration, learning, and getting back to the fun roots of casual and collaborative interpretation of historic martial arts.

We will be returning to Camp Royall in Moncure, North Carolina. The camp offers a choice of cabin bunks or tent camping, and there is plenty of room for everyone. For the first time we are extending the festivities to start on Thursday night, after many requests for an extra day of comradery and classes.

The lineup this year:

- The Franco-Belgian Beer Battle

- A variety of classes presented by world class instructors

- The (unarmored) melee

- The secret tournament

- Armor training and demos

- And more

Your registration covers dinners on Thursday, Friday and Saturday night (we’re planning on Oktoberfest favorites and NC BBQ), and lunch on Friday and Saturday. 

We’re proud to announce that this year's event will host instructors: Jess Finley, James Reilly, Eric Weiss, Christian Trosclair, Walker Skaggs, and Rob Rutherfoord. More announcements to come! Stay tuned!  

Registration is Open. The cost for the event, including lodging are:

• $190 for Camping

• $240 for Cabin (limit 70)

• $60 for Friends & Family who are camping but not participating. (Please note this covers camping only, it does not cover meals or classes)

More information, including menus, agendas, and descriptions of classes and activities will follow.
