The Bilge Pumps will be heading way, way away from the ocean this summmer, all the way to North Dakota!

We'll be making our first appearance at the Red River Valley Renaissance Faire this year, escaping the Texas heat and easing into a cooler climate.

Sure, we'll be thousands of miles away from the ocean and sure, we'll all have the land sweats because of it, but we plan in bringing in a dose of sea air to West Fargo, even if way have to spray everyone.

Because of other commitments, we can only be there for the first weekend of the faire, but we promise to give everyone something to talk about... for better or worse.

The Bilge Pumps will be returning to the land of the red earth for our fifth appearance at the Oklahoma Renaissance & Scottish Festival.

The festival takes place at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City. Specifically, it will be on the NE corner of the grounds on the corner of May Ave and 10th St.

There'll be more entertainment than you can shake your rigging at, including a large dash of piracy.

The OKC Highland Games (an International Highland Games Federation sanctioned event) will also take place at the festival.

Come join us in starting the holiday season with a bang.
