For our Palio we have divided the Barony into three districts, or contrade. Each contrada is lead by a captain, who rallies and organizes their team.  

The populace of Stonemarche welcomes those from outside of the barony to join the fun and compete with one of the contrade.

If you live beyond our borders you can arrange ahead of time with the Event Steward or be assigned a contrade upon your arrival at the event. This will ensure that each contrada has approximately the same number of participants.

Each contrade captain can provide livery for the competitions and a favor class will be held Friday evening for those who wish to make their own team colors.

In the spirit of team camaraderie all are encouraged (but not required) to camp in the contrade encampments, which are formed to represent the piazza of Italian neighborhoods.
