Some evening programs and themed weekends may feature mature content, and those will always be clearly marked so you can plan your visit comfortably.
Do I need to wear a costume to attend?
Costumes are welcome but not required. Many guests choose to dress up to feel part of the world of Stillwater Village, but you’re just as welcome in comfortable modern clothes. Whether you come in full garb or jeans and a T-shirt, you’ll be part of the story all the same.
Are there rules or guidelines for costumes?
Yes. We encourage outfits that fit the atmosphere of a Renaissance-style village. Please avoid clearly modern, futuristic, or anime-inspired costumes unless they’ve been thoughtfully adapted to look period-appropriate.
Think leather, linen, wool, and handmade details rather than synthetics or visible logos. The goal is to keep the magic and immersion alive for everyone.
Guests wearing costumes that clearly break theme will be asked to change or remove them before entering. Those who refuse may be denied entry and refunded. These guidelines help ensure the Faire remains an immersive experience for everyone.
