Knights & Nymphs
Good tidings, gentlefolk.
Long ago, upon the shores of ten thousand shimmering waters, there rose a realm unlike any other, where knights knelt to whomever they pleased, where nymphs waded from the lakes to hold court of their own making. This is Lakewater.
The Princess of the Kingdom of Lakewater doth extend an invitation for all in the realm to join her at the castle grounds for a festival. Here reigns the Lavender Court, a merry band of players and fools sworn to bring this kingdom to life. Come one, come all, ye lovers of leather and lace, ye seekers of sword and slow dances, ye who have long wondered what history forgot to tell us—what if the Renaissance had butches?
Wander the faire-grounds. Raise a mug of mead. Duel with wit, if not with blades. Dine on sustenance provided by the carriages hosting food. Enjoy the stylings of the bards on our bard stage. Browse the market. Fall in love beneath the banners of a court that answers to no one.
The Lavender Court awaits thy arrival.

ABOUT SAPPHO'S SOCIAL CLUB
Sappho's Social Club is a community based group of Sapphics in the Twin Cities, dedicated to creating free or low-cost events that bring people together in meaningful ways.
ABOUT MIZNA
Mizna presents contemporary, critical, and experimental art, writing, and film centering the work of Arab and Southwest Asian and North African artists. Mizna In 2026, Mizna celebrates the twentieth edition of our flagship program, and we mark this milestone by drawing on cinematic transmissions from our past festivals. We align this series with our broader 2026 film programming––Looking Forward, Looking Back––which confronts the visual record of SWANA cinema, including our own festival, demanding radical new meanings from the archive rather than a simple, sentimental look.
Sappho's Torch Commencement
Sappho’s Torch is a mentorship initiative under Sappho’s Social Club dedicated to building intergenerational connection within the Twin Cities sapphic community. Through intentional, identity-affirming pairings, we pass down the knowledge, resilience, and pride that sustain our community so no one has to figure it out alone. We understand the power of our history and want to help bridge the generational divides within sapphic circles. Sapphic youth (Buds) are matched with adult mentors (Lavenders) who offer friendship, advice, and a listening ear. These relationships help young people navigate life’s challenges, explore their interests, and gain the skills they need to reach their full potential.
Our inaugural cohort kicks off June 14th.
Pride Sewing Workshop
Local designer Maxine Britt of MX Apparel will lead a Pride Sewing Workshop to round off our Pride Month weekend kickoff.
Registration is full.
