Saturday
Bright Court Costume Contest: Light-footed and luminous, the Seelie Fae delight in beauty, mischief, and magic that warms the heart. On Saturday, step into the sun-dappled spotlight and showcase your most radiant wings, shimmering silks, and nature-touched elegance. Whether you’re a regal forest guardian or a dewdrop sprite, this is your time to dazzle.
Sunday
Shadow Court Costume Contest: Twisted, cunning, and irresistible—on Sunday, the Unseelie take center stage. Bring your dark glamour, eerie grace, and wild chaos to life. From thorn-crowned royalty to moody marsh spirits, we invite all wickedlings and shadow sprites to reveal their true form.
Meet the Author: Each day of our show, we schedule a new up-and-coming fantasy author. Buy a book, get it signed, join their fan club, and grab a selfie to show you were there. See who the author is for a given day in the Guests Merchants section of our Shops page.
Contest Info: All contests occur on the Sovereign Stage at 3:45 pm. Unless otherwise mentioned, the Faire includes these events with your same-day admission. If you are planning to enter a contest, please arrive 10-15 minutes before starting. At the discretion of the contest host, some events may choose to limit the number of participants in a particular contest due to time restrictions.
