About this event

IMPORTANT NOTE – ADVANCED REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!!!

Join Sir Knights from across Minnesota for the 2023 One Day to Knights Templar Festival hosted by Zion Commandery No. 2 on Saturday, March 18, 2023.

The 2023 One Day to Royal Arch Chapter and One Day to Cryptic Council Festivals are in the books as perhaps the best York Rite One Day events ever! And the Commandery One Day Festival is sure to enter the record books along with the remarkable Chapter and Council events.

The Commandery Orders on March 18 th will be presented in full form by Sir Knights and Commanderys from across Minnesota. This will be a full presentation of the stirring and compelling Commandery Orders which stand alone in our Fraternity as perhaps the most moving and chivalric presentations in all of Masonry.

The Knights Templar Orders sponsored by Zion Commandery #2 will be presented at the historic Minneapolis Scottish Rite Masonic Center (SRMC). The Minneapolis SRMC is perhaps the premier Masonic venue in Minnesota and this year has already hosted Grand Lodge of Minnesota Degrees, York Rite and Scottish Rite ritual and virtually every other Masonic Appendant Body. The Minneapolis SRMC is located at 2011 Dupont Avenue South in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

If you are a Cryptic Council Mason and wish to embark upon an exciting journey in York Rite Masonry, reach out to a Sir Knight of a Commandery near you and he can get you started with a petition to become a Knights Templar. You must submit a petition to a Commandery before you can attend the One Day event on March 18 th . The closing date for petitions varies depending upon the Commandery you wish to join, so act now!!

The event starts with check-in at 8:00 AM.
