Dinosaurs at a medieval event? Historically, it doesn’t make much sense, but you have to admit it sounds incredible. “Medieval vs. Dinosaurs” is coming to Santiago, Nuevo León, with an event that will blend fantasy, artisans, adventurers, and prehistoric creatures.
The event will take place on August 29 and 30 at Tierra de Dinosaurios, which will lend its spaces to serve as the setting for this unique adventure. If you’re looking for something different to do near Monterrey, mark your calendars.
There will be treasure hunts and medieval challenges
The first edition of this event will bring together artisans and adventurers for an experience where anachronisms are allowed as long as they’re fun. So get ready to encounter everything from medieval characters to enormous dinosaurs all in one place.
Among the announced activities will be a treasure hunt and rewards for those who dare to complete the challenges prepared by the Nuevo León Adventurers’ Guild. There will also be contests, exhibitors, and product sales.
And because a fantasy experience calls for a drink to match, there will also be mead—a beverage historically associated with various ancient cultures that fits perfectly with the event’s theme.
The courtyard at Tierra de Dinosaurios will be used to host the various activities, set up sales areas, and create photo opportunities amid medieval settings and Jurassic creatures.
