Dress for comfort or attend in Costume to join in the themed fun of the Realm!
 

The Vandalia Renaissance and Fantasy Faire is an outdoor event and will be held rain or shine. Our village is spread out around the Shrine Park which has lawn, gravel and paved surfaces so comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

 

You are invited to come dressed in costume. All attendees, regardless of costuming, should be attired -- meaning that shoes, shirts, and pants or a skirts must be worn at all times. Ensuring that the event is family-friendly is an important part of the festival experience. In that spirit, we ask you to use your discretion and common sense.

All weapons should be fully sheathed and peace-tied. 

VRAFF’s management asks that you assist us in providing a welcoming, inviting and enjoyable entertainment experience for attendees of all ages.
