What is Estrella War?
Estrella War is the second largest event held by the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA, an educational non-profit corporation dedicated to recreating the Middle Ages. It is also the largest SCA event run by an all-volunteer staff (none of the people in costume that you see working at the event are being paid!). Instead, they are attending the event to take an active part in a week long recreation of medieval life, including mock battles, live arts demonstrations, classes about the arts and sciences of the Middle Ages, tournaments, and the pageantry of those times. Now in its 25th year, Estrella War usually takes place the second week of February, and lasts for seven days. In 2009, the event will be open from February 9th through 16th.
