We have details on where and when to meet up with the Great Plains Renaissance Festival for Saturday’s parade.
I’m planning to grab a utility trailer, the ballista, and one of the top chunks of the towers (along with the MakeICT flag and the Wichita flag).
From Davis:
OK, WE HAVE A SCHEDULE! CRY HAVOC AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF PARADE or something like that. Anyway, here’s what we all need to know - there’s going to be some map images in the comments, too. Read the entire thing, of course ![]()
-
We are on the Douglas Street Bridge, entry #20
-
The trucks and trailers will arrive at 10:30 AM as per faire instructions (trucks and trailers will rally elsewhere, as we much arrive as a group)
-
If you show up before 10:30 AM and ask someone where our entry is, etc., you will be mocked by me

-
Trucks and trailers: we will rally at North Lynnwood Park at 9:45, giving us plenty of time to make our way there.
Park on the north most street bordering Lynwood Park (Park Street). We will travel as a pack to improve our hunting technique. Wait, no, it’s so all vehicles in our group arrive at the same time, as per the parade requirements. -
For those who need a ride, and those who would like to provide a ride, please rally at Lynwood park.
-
I will have tickets for us to hand out, and banners to hang an flags to fly. I will provide further instructions on handouts, but it sums to up to this: do not hand out anything besides kids tickets and candy (if we have any). Not other fliers will be handed out, per the event rules
-
While we wait from 10:30 to noon, we’ll do the usual hanging of banners, assembly of stuffs, etc.
-
We will have (I believe) 4 vehicles and trailers total.
-
If you’re planning on sitting on one of the trailers, please bring a pillow to sit on.
-
The parade route is provided below - you’ll notice it’s sort of vague where we actually stop at: WPD will direct us apparently. Which means the parade will end in even more chaos than last time, since 1st Street is closed

-
After the parade, The Great Plains Renaissance Festival will be feeding everyone chili and / or baked potatoes with fixin’s (if you RSVP). If you want to bring a desert or some addition to it all, you’re more than welcome eo
-
That feed will take place at North Lynwood Park.
