Directions
The ale will be held at Camp Sayre, a Boy Scout camp in Milton, Mass. Follow this link for directions to camp and to the first stand.
Meals
Meals will be provided for ale attendees, including breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday, and a feast on Saturday evening at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Quincy. (Because most teams go to Doyle's Pub after the Lilac Sunday tour, we will not be providing a separate dinner on Sunday.)
Picnic lunches will be provided for Saturday and Sunday day attendees, with an option to also join us for the feast.
Cost
Ale costs are as follows:
- Full weekend with lodging at camp:
- Adults (17 and over):
- $75 if paid after April 15.
- Children ages 5-16: $30
- Children under 5: free
- Adults (17 and over):
- No lodging (meals only): $45
T-Shirts
Here is this year's T-shirt design:
T-shirts cost $10 each. (There may be a $1 surcharge for sizes XXL and larger, depending on the vendor's policy.)
The T-shirt order has already been placed. We have ordered some extras (mostly sizes L and XL), which we will sell at the ale on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Weather
The ale will happen rain or shine. (One year we danced during a major storm that dumped 10" of rain on us.) However, when and where we dance will depend on the weather.
Here is the latest weather forecast for Quincy and vicinity.
