Fort Edwards isn’t designed for large-scale Renaissance Fair-type events. The Market Square is designed for the enjoyment of Fort Edwards visitors, as a showcase for Wasteland vendors, artists and musicians who take advantage of the Fort Edwards Merchant’s Guild. The Market Square has several permanent shops in 10×12 sheds with 10×12 courtyards for demonstrations and displays.
