Thank you very much for your interest in participating in Fort George in the Great War: WWI weekend. We are looking forward our annual First War event held on the grounds that included Camp Niagara, an active training ground for Canadian, American and Polish troops during the First World War. We ask that individual re-enactors fill out the registration below as it helps us determine numbers for programing and logistics (Food, Washrooms etc..) for the weekend. If you have family members that are non-combatants attending as well they can be included on a single registration. Make sure to include your email so we can send you any updates. Thank you very much and we look forward to seeing you in June!

Please have your registration submitted before June 7, 2024, to ensure we have enough previsions for everyone.
