The Medieval Festival at Fort Tryon Park

Hello Medieval Festival fans,

We regret to inform you that the Medieval Festival at Fort Tryon Park will not be taking place in 2023. The annual festival, with roots in Washington Heights for over 35 years, is being cancelled this year for budgetary reasons.

For information on our future events, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and or check out our website www.whidc.org .

We look forward to reuniting in 2024 when we hope to enjoy the Festival together again.

Regretfully,
