The theme for this year’s 48th Annual Spirit of Vincennes Rendezvous is George Germain Viscount Sackville, Secretary for the Colonies, the namesake of the British fort that was captured by George Rogers Clark in 1779.

The annual event celebrates the color, costume, and lifestyle of the 18th century.

There will be 100 authentic merchant and food booths on the grounds of the French Commons located at Second and Willow Streets behind the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park.

There will also be battle re-enactments.
