Do I have to come in costume?

Of course not! Many guests come in costume, and we highly recommend it, but it is completely up to YOU 

Can I bring my costume/prop weapon?

We want all guests to enjoy their time while staying safe. Realistic-looking weapons must be tied to your person and cannot be carried “in hand.” Foam, LARP, and plastic weapons don’t need to be tied. Exposed sharpened steel is not allowed, and reproductions of modern-era weapons are strictly prohibited. Our security team will be checking all weapons to ensure compliance and provide assistance if needed. If a weapon is deemed non-compliant by the security team or police, you will be asked to put it away. 

Are there restrictions on costumes?

We encourage creativity and welcome all different types of costumes, but it’s important to maintain an environment appropriate for guests of all ages. Please ensure that shirts and shoes are worn at all times. 


Accessibility

Is the event wheelchair accessible?

Most areas of the Halloween Nightfair are wheelchair accessible. 

Do you have any quieter areas at the event for those looking for a break from the noise?

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the event and the design of the streets, we are unable to have a designated quiet area. For a less loud area away from the stage and noisy bars, South Main Street is the best option. 

Do you have accessible restrooms?

Yes, we have 1 ADA accessible portable restroom located behind the food trucks.
