NCBC Renaissance Faire

Personnel stationed at the Seabee Base in Gulfport and their families took a trip back in time with a fun fair this weekend.

Jousting, archery, and turkey legs were in high demand at the first-ever renaissance faire at the Naval Construction Battalion Center.

The event was hosted by the center’s Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Department and allowed families to get out and experience what life was like during medieval times through interactive activities, crafts, and food. Community Recreation Programmer Kisha Culberson said, “It gives the families an opportunity to have family time. So, it’s memories. So, you’ll be able to mark it down in your book and look back a year from now and say I was at the renaissance faire at the Navy base in Gulfport.”

The hope is to hold more fairs like the renaissance faire in the future.
