Publick Times recreates the colonial-era market fair held in Williamsburg when the General Assembly was in session, drawing colonists from across Virginia for trade, entertainment, and court business; the modern event features militia musters, period market stalls, 18th-century games, and public orations performed by costumed interpreters in the Historic Area. The tradition references actual Publick Times records from 18th-century Virginia Gazette accounts.
