The St. Maries Citty Militia will hold their annual muster in conjunction with RiverFest. Experience the sights, sounds, and smells of a 17th-century militia assembly as citizen-soldier re-enactors prepare to defend the colony against Virginians and pirates. March along as militia men practice drills. Follow smoke and fire to a mock battle and musket demonstration. Visit militia families carrying out every day chores in camp.
