Queen & Rook Presents: Fantasy Renn Fair

Queen & Rook, which has been settling into its new location since May, is teaming up with the Philadelphia LARP Society for the celebration. "LARP" refers to live-action roleplay, a game form where players physically portray their own characters.

At the "Fantasy Renn Faire," visitors can participate in free activities and quests given by the Philadelphia LARP Society, allowing newcomers to try out live-action roleplaying for themselves.

Attendees can enjoy performances of fire spinning, stage sword fighting, Shakespearean musical comedy and singing from a Slavic choir. Queen & Rook also put out a call for vendors to be a part of the block party, particularly ones with crafts and goods with a fantasy or "nerdy" theme.
