On May 2, 2020 at Fort Wellington, get ready for a full day of family fun. This year, The Greater Fort Town Area Charity plans to have an all-day Steampunk Festival inside Fort Wellington.  Steampunk is a wonderful theme that blends well with the historical context of the Fort.  The event includes vendors, entertainment, Tea Dueling, Gun Dueling (British Rules), Parasol Dueling, and Splendid Teapot Racing.  On the grounds of the Fort will also be Hot Air Balloon rides tethered at 100 meters.  Also a walking tour to visit open doors to some of Prescott's lovely historical homes.  There will also be a Scavenger Hunt.  The Festival begins at 10am to 6pm. Lastly, the Fort Town Night Run.  Pre-race festivities begin at 6pm with music, entertainment, booths, and much more. Kids 1K Fun Run begins at 7:30pm (for youth 13 and under).  Registrations include a bandana & Finisher's Medal; 5K, 10K, and 15K begin at 8:10pm, 8:20pm, and 8pm, respectively.  Registrations include a T-shirt, headlamp, and Finisher's Medal.  All are chip-timed.  Registration also includes access to the Steampunk Festival all-day.
