2025 Festival Mug

This year’s mug is a two-handed Irish Mether, individually hand-crafted by The Painted Pony. No two mugs are alike, and they are just about ready to be glazed and finalized!

Festival mugs will only be available for purchase at the 4th Annual Cavern City Renaissance Festival! Be on the lookout for the festival map to see where to purchase these mugs at the festival, while supplies last.

The Irish mether is an ancient communal drinking vessel, traditionally passed around among friends at feasts and celebrations. With its distinctive multi-handled design, it symbolizes sharing, fellowship, and good cheer.
