Accessibility

This is a mostly flat fairgrounds made up of paths and grass. There is a slight slope at the front entrance. Most mobility aids should be able to navigate the grounds. Accessible parking is directly outside the main gate. Please tell a parking attendant if needed.

Parking

It's free!

Parking is free at this venue, is completely on-site, and will be mostly on grass. Isn't that great news!? Of course, if you have an opportunity to carpool or get dropped off, that's extremely super cool of you, allows for more attendee parking, and helps with traffic! :)

Special Event Faire Packages

If you are celebrating anything (birthday, anniversary, recent unemployment, high bowling score, etc.) or just want to be treated like a VIP, reach out to kryssy @ lunarfaire.com to create a custom individual or group experience.

Day-of Tickets

Will be available at the gate for $35. Season passes are also available for purchase in person at the gate.

Season Pass Holders

Please be our guests! You get in free! 2025 passes will be available for purchase!

What to Bring

  • A flashlight! Some parts of the faire are dark!
  • Everyone you know!
  • Blanket Fashion! (good any time of year if you ask me but also great for hanging out)
  • Comfy shoes - there's a lot to see!
  • Your weird and/or witchy and/or light up garb! Or you can buy some at our merch booth!
  • Chair/blanket to rest your bones
  • A drum to drum on at the drum circle
  • Shopping bag, reusable cup, other waste reduction items

Rain Date

This is an all weather event. The only reason we would cancel is if the weather is extremely severe or like the parking fields are snow covered but our blizzard wizard is on retainer to prevent this. That means it's rain or shine.

Refunds

All ticket sales are final. No refunds will be issued or transfers honored for other events unless we cancel or reschedule.

No Furry Friends Please

Pets other than service animals are prohibited. You may have seen people bring pets. Those people might not have seen the FAQs on the website or this part of the ticket, or the posts about it, or may be ignoring all of these. But please, out of respect for the venue, and, more importantly, non-pet people, and our insurance policy, please leave your furry friends at home. You will be turned away if you have a non-service animal pet with you.

Children

Should I bring them?

Depends how feral they are. If they are at least mildly civilized they’ll be thoroughly entertained and will remain undevoured.

Are they free?

So you decided to take the plunge and make a new generation of cool kids. Nice. 10 and under are free.

Do a lot of kids go?

A lot.

I've heard this is wholesome. But is it?

As you can see from the above questions, people proudly bring their children. Without getting into a philosophical argument about subjectivity and moral outrage, this is generally a wholesome and safe event. People are friendly, loving, inclusive, and peaceful. But it isn't sanitized. The map might say "Long-Ass Road" and our schedule includes active and participatory spellwork and we do not censor adult vendor products (though most are not overt). We occasionally sell a drink that looks like blood in a bag. But it's non-alcoholic, as are all our potions. And while there is absolutely nothing inherently dangerous to encounter, we're likely always going to walk a line of "propriety." And maybe, as a result, pioneer a whole new unapologetic version of wholesome. It is up to you and your parenting style to decide what you personally find objectionable and what is best for your own children. Our children attend.

That's Khloe, the owner's kid, and Julia, vendor and owner of Darling by JR Boutique :)

You might have your picture taken and we might post it on our socials. If that's a problem, tell someone.

Contagious Illness Stuff

Mask mandates and public contagious illness statuses are rapidly changing and we are a compassionate crowd! Please bring a mask, and wear one when appropriate or asked. This community requires your cooperation and empathy.

Additionally, exposure to contagious illness is an inherent risk in any public location where people are present; we cannot guarantee you will not be exposed during your visit. The CDC advises that older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness from contagious illnesses. Attendees should evaluate their own risk in determining whether to attend. Don't come if you're sick, showing symptoms of illness, or generally cantankerous. Any interaction with the general public poses an elevated risk of being exposed to contagious illnesses. By coming to Lunar Faire, you acknowledge and agree that you assume these inherent risks associated with attendance.
