Gotta eat sometime!
Re-enactment Groups and Events
that involve food
last update: 29 Nov 2007

Please bear in mind that these groups are historical re-enactment groups and do not focus on food but on the general history of their particular period(s).
As for the events, we can't guarantee any historical authenticity regarding their respective food vendors but you never know....
While these links take you to Pacific Northwest groups and events, the national groups have local branches in many areas and there are local/regional groups and events findable in your area, too.
Clicking on any of these links will launch another browser window to take you to that site. You can return to this page simply by closing the new window. (As the new window is usually launched smaller than the host window, you may need to re-size it.)
