Mass Dances

We will hold a Mass Dance instruction session and review on Friday night.

Shirts
T-shirt ordering for pick up at check-in onsite at the Ale will be available in Spring 2027.
We may have an online order and ship option available at a later date, after the event. However these will be different shirt style, higher price, and lower print quality than the shirts ordered through registration.
Financial Aid
The Midwest Morris Ale provides financial aid to community members for whom the cost of attending an Ale is a hardship. This is made possible through the generous donations of other members of the community. There is no age restriction or skill requirement. More information coming soon.
