Discover Idyllwild Festivals Inc
Our Vision
We would like to bring educational entertainment to the Shire of Idyllwild. Living history projects that will transport our patrons back to another time while teaching them about those times will provide knowledge and an understanding of what it was like to live in those past times, and hopefully, an appreciation of how we live today. It is our mandate to provide quality, high value productions that will deliver great value for a reasonable price. We want to remain a small, community run endeavor bringing joy and happiness to our Shire.
Our Mission
Our mission is to produce historically accurate yet fun events with a goal of teaching our patrons about bygone eras. Starting with the Renaissance period of the 15th and 16th century, to Celtic and Western days, we propose to bring to life these historical events that shaped the world we live in today. Not being a major resort town, our merchants rely on visitors who come up for an adventure and some excitement being just a few short hours from most of Southern California. Our mountains and alpine forests will transport our patrons from their busy, noisy environment to one of peace, music and harmony.
Values
Family values are first and foremost our biggest concern. We will strive to provide family friendly entertainment at all our open venues while keeping adult themed entertainment at closed or ticketed venues. Our cast and crew will be held to a higher standard while among our patrons. While under our employ, they must be in character and under control at all times. They will interact with our patrons in a friendly and non-confrontational manner. Adult beverages will be controlled and monitored at all times and only period weapons are allowed and must be "Peace Tied" and/or rendered unuasble while at the Farie.
