2019 Rendezvous in Poway
Everyone is invited to Rendezvous in Poway on October 5-6, 2019 at Old Poway Park in Poway, California. Visit over 15 living history encampments demonstrating life during California’s turn-of-the-twentieth-century and civil war eras. Meet real cowboys, pioneers, mountain men and women, fur traders, gunslingers, and soldiers. Hop aboard the train, watch gun-fighting demonstrations, view handmade items for sale at the Boardwalk Craft Market, and pan for gold in a unique way near the banks of Rattlesnake Creek.
Rendezvous in Poway
Musicians will wander through the park, playing old-fashioned folk and bluegrass tunes for your enjoyment. For those seeking more exciting fare, there will be Gatling gun and cannon demonstrations performed throughout the Rendezvous in Poway event.
Pan for Gold
You can also try your hand at panning for gold at Rendezvous in Poway, but watch out for train robbers! Words out that The Apache Canyon Gang and the Shadow River Regulators will be lurking around the train to steal your hard-earned gold and cause general old-West mayhem (and fun).
Poway Arts and Crafts Guild Sale
The Poway Arts and Crafts Guild will also be holding a sale of their goods during Rendezvous in Poway. The Hamburger Factory will be open for business, so come hungry.
The Nelson House and the historical museum will also be open during the Rendezvous in Poway.
Dress to Impress!
Visitors are encouraged to come to Rendezvous in 19th century period costume and join in the fun. A full list of costuming recommendations is available for download on the city’s website on the Rendezvous in Poway’s calendar listing, which includes everything from buckskin clothing and beaver hats to the more mundane (and more likely to already be in your closet).
School Days: Thursday & Friday Before Rendezvous
Thursday and Friday before the public rendezcous are open only for School Days. Students and teachers only (and demonstrators, of course). Let your students LIVE history in groups of 20 or more in a one-of-a-kind, interactive, hands-on learning experience.
