LONGVIEW — The Lewis River Golf Course east of Woodland plans to host its inaugural fantasy festival next month with games, music, camping and more.
The Realms Unknown Festival is set to run Sept. 8-10 and will center around an interactive quest.
Patrons will build characters and participate in riddles and other challenges to win keys, according to a press release from the golf course. Winning three realm keys will give patrons the opportunity to solve a final puzzle and be declared “Key Master of the Portals.”
Along with the main quest, the festival will have themed taverns, games, live music and other entertainers. People can also camp at the festival, and weekend passes are available.
