The most exciting parts of our re-creation are, of course, our events.  Being mostly combat-oriented, these events are generally "wars" during which we camp and fight for days at a time, stopping to feast and entertain one another around the fire.

Want to know the exact date of a specific event without looking through the whole website? Our Events Calendar is just what you need.

At 10 am on Saturday, May 3rd, the MMCG will hold an archery tournament at Bear Creek Regional Park (21st Street Entrance). Equipment must be traditional-style. Further rules and discussion can be found in the Events Fora.

In October of 2006, Paul Wagner of the Stoccata School of Defence in Sydney, Australia, visited to teach two days' worth of classes concerning the use of the Highland Broadsword. Mr. Wagner is the author of several books and essays on swordsmanship and other European martial arts.

Mr. Wagner has visited the MMCG once previously, teaching the use of the English Bastard Sword and Quarterstaff. DVDs of the seminar were made and are available in limited quantities.

Our original event, usually held in early to mid-summer, lasts the duration of a weekend, and is held annually.  More than just a two-day fighting practice, this event is generally the culmination of our year's practice and preparation in many fields.  Firelight bardic tales, moonlight melees and heroic tournaments highlight our chief event.

Held during the early winter, Frostwar is the sibling-event of Mercenary Wars.  Emphasizing the winter-locked culture of the Northern lands, Frostwar is a time of fighting and merriment (and a chance for everybody to wear their heavy woolen garb without roasting).

Every week at Monument Valley Park at 11:00 a.m. practice is held at the Fontanero entrance of the park. Weekly practice can consists of many different types of games or focii, including melee, single combat, technique focus and combat-related games.

The Black Falcon School of Arms is a subgroup of the MMCG that focuses solely upon strictly historical technique interpretation and extrapolation from medieval texts. At present, it generally meets at the same time as the regular MMCG practice.
