Please be aware that the internet is crawling with fake ticket scams.

People commenting on social media that they have tickets for sale are lying. Third party resellers besides Eventeny are void. We cannot help you if you purchase one of those tickets and will ask you to buy a ticket at the door if it’s not legitimate. Tickets are non-refundable & non-transferable.

You can either bring the print-out with the QR Code or open it on your phone to scan at the Gate.

The Red Lodge Renaissance Faire wants to recognize patrons who are active duty or retired military, first responders, and senior citizens.

We are located in Montana and the weather conditions can vary greatly, from hot and dry, to cool and wet. We recommend you check the weather reports before you come out to the Faire.

>Can I wear a Costume?… Of course! We’d love to see you in something relevant to our time period. Patrons are welcome to attend in their favorite costumes. We encourage a wide range of characters, from historically accurate to fantasy-inspired.

Shoes must be worn. Closed-toed footwear is recommended. A head covering is also recommended, (there is little shade on our site).

>Does my Costume have to fit the theme?… Definitely not. It’s a suggestion for folks who want to do that. But you dress as you’d like.

We are an outside, family friendly event. Cover all the bits, think more than a bikini. No foul language, hate speech, or exclusionary language or images. We have zero tolerance for clothing with foul language or exclusionary language or images. You will not be admitted &/or the Faire reserves the right to withhold entry or to escort any individual whose apparel is deemed unsuitable or that may detract from the enjoyment of others in attendance.

>Can I rent a costume?… No. We do not have costume rentals. We do, however, encourage you to wear your favorite Renaissance/Fantasy styled clothing or visit one of the vendors to buy your attire.

>Can I wear a costume weapon?… Period appropriate weapons are allowed as long as they are peace-tied (cannot be removed from a sheath or belt) and sharp edges are covered. Cut the piece-tie or wave your weapon around and you’re going to be asked to leave. Seriously…do not be the person that makes us enact a weapons ban.

All of the entertainment is FREE. Some vendor activities (for example, gem mining or face painting, fairy hair, etc.) will have a fee based on the vendor’s choosing.

Head to our website. Entertainers and vendors can fill out applications there. Volunteer crew and staff are accepted year-round. Volunteers earn comp tickets that can be used any day of Faire. As well as our undying gratitude.
