The Canton of Appleholm invites you to join us for a sociable evening of historically-themed fun and glamor.

On Saturday May 31, starting at 6 PM, we’ll visit St. John’s, our local progressive gothic cathedral, for a medieval-themed Pride Eve event hosted by Internet personality the Greedy Peasant. Expect fabulous attire, cocktails, crafting stations, and campy performances. 

The initial batch of tickets has sold out, but a “last-minute” round of tickets will be available for $45 via the cathedral’s website on May 27; these will likely also sell out very quickly. (Higher-priced tickets are available for those who want to financially support the event, but do not come with any extra perks.)

Historical clothing is optional but encouraged, especially in bright chromatic hues to match the pride rainbow theme.

The cathedral is located on Amsterdam Avenue at 112th Street. The closest subways are the 1 train or the B/C lines, both of which have Cathedral Parkway / 110th Street stations; there are also numerous bus lines in the area. 

We’ll gather on the steps out front (or in the vestibule if the weather is inclement) and enter as a group. (If you miss us at the entrance, call Mathghamhain at 917-502-7795 to link up with us inside.) The event should last about three hours. 

The building is ADA accessible, with a ramp to bypass the front steps. Masks are optional.

This is not an SCA-organized event, so we’ll be joined by lots of other folks who are into history and DIY fashion, and might get a chance to connect with other people who share our interests.
