Themed Weekends

Oktoberfest

Journey back in time to old Bavaria as the King and Queen open the Festival season with a celebration of the best of the wurst (and the bier)! Join in the fun by taking part in the Oktoberfest costume contest or the bratwurst eating contest.

October 7 (Saturday) - 8 (Sunday)

1001 Dreams

Faeries, elves and other fanciful creatures bring enchantment to the lanes of New Market Village. Show off your magical finery in the fantasy costume contest or test your endurance in the fiery dragon-wing eating contest.

October 14 (Saturday) - 15 (Sunday)

Pirate Adventure

Avast, Ye Hearties! Heave to and come ashore for the most piratical party on the seven seas. Show off your best buccaneer frock in the Best Dressed Pirate contest and try your luck at the Fish-N-Chips eating contest.

October 21 (Saturday) - 22 (Sunday)

All Hallows Eve

Ghoulies and ghosties arrive for some scary good when the Kingdom welcomes the Transylvanian court. Enter our Halloween costume contest or the Kettle Korn eating contest for a chance to win some "spook-tacular" prizes.

October 28 (Saturday), October 29 (Sunday)

Heroes and Villains

The mightiest heroes and heroines clash with the darkest of villains and vixens from history and legend. Show off your alter ego in the Heroes and Villains costume contest. If your superpower is eating, accept the challenge of winning the gyro eating contest.

November 4 (Saturday) - 5 (Sunday)

Barbarian Invasion

Join the Great Horde and feast, drink, and plunder your way through the village during this barbaric rumpus. Are you the worst dressed barbarian around? Prove it on our costume contest or show off your worst table manners in the turkey leg eating contest.

November 11 (Saturday) - 12 (Sunday)

Highland Fling

Lads and lassies- the pipes are calling you to a celebration of the joys of Scotland. Witness the thrill of the Highland games, show of your Scotish finery in the Bonnie Knees contest, and see if you have the misneach(courage) to participate in the haggis eating contest.

November 18 (Saturday) - 19 (Sunday)

Celtic Christmas

Father Christmas, Mother Christmas, and all the Christmas elves welcome children of all ages to our final three-day celebration of the coming Yule-tide season. The Kingdom is transformed into a Christmas wonderland and holiday music fills the lanes. Find the perfect gifts for everyone on your list in our over 400 shoppes. There's also a holiday costume contest and the pumpkin pie eating contest to add to your Christmas cheer.
