CALENDAR OF EVENTS
We recommend that any individual or organization interested in hosting a Civil War related event (speaking presentation, parade appearance, living history, or reenactment) in the upcoming year contact the NECWE to place your event on the proposed list of events as soon as possible. The annual EVENT COORDINATORS meeting is held in December and it is recommended that all events secure a date prior to the date of the meeting. Member units of the New England Brigade and the Liberty Greys will vote on their schedule after the first of the new year. Note that full 2-day events should not be placed on back-to-back weekends with an event already on the schedule. Date priority will be respective of those semi-annual events that have committed to long term engagements with members of the hobby. There may be occasion, depending on the date of your event, that participation of the NEB or LG may not be guaranteed. Before deciding upon a date for your event, please contact us here at the NECWE. REMINDER TO ALL EVENT COORDINATORS: In order to place your event on the schedule, you will need to submit the Event Application (on documents page).
