Please join in the 26th annual Medieval Festival in Fort Tryon Park. This festival brings to life the customs and spirit of the Middle Ages. Fort Tryon Park is transformed into a medieval market town decorated with bright banners and processional flags. Visitors are entertained by authentic medieval music, dance, magic, and performances. The afternoon is concluded with a thrilling joust between knights on horseback.

The festival is held in the park area surrounding The Cloisters, a world-famous museum of medieval art located in northern Manhattan. Food and craft items are available for purchase.

New in 2010: At 11:30 a.m., the International Quidditch Association (IQA) will host an exhibition match. Quidditch is the sport made famous by Harry Potter and his Hogwarts chums. Be early to get the best seats for this exciting event.

A complete schedule of performances will be posted at www.whidc.org. To find our more about the Medieval Festival, please contact WHIDC (Washington Heights Inwood Development Corporation) at (212) 795-1600.
