Yuletide Medieval Festival

The Yuletide Medieval Festival is a San Diego–area holiday event in Lakeside, California, built around the world of medieval England and dedicated to the traditions of the medieval Christmas season. Visitors find jousting and fights, minstrels, musicians and other skilled performers, appearances by St. Nicholas and Krampus, artisan shops selling wares from weapons to whimsy, and food ranging from turkey legs and meat pies to vegan options. A separate St. Nicholas Day Feast offers a five-course sit-down holiday meal with ale, wine or a non-alcoholic beverage, entertainment between courses, and appearances by King Henry V and St. Nicholas.
