Lunar Faire 8/4 Animal Faire Jungle Habitat!

IT'S AN ANIMAL THEME!

We're finally in the jungle when we don't have another event to celebrate. So bust out your leopard prints, your furry suits, your kitten heels, whatever, it's finally an ANIMAL THEME!

Attire options:

• hollowed-out bear like in Midsommar (extreme)
• knock-off Times Square off-brand animal character costume which causes you to force people to pay you for photos with yourself (exhausting)
• gay panda (excommunicable)
• Frank costume from Donnie Darko (existential)
• channel your inner Snooki and rock a cheetah jumper (extra)
• whatever you want regardless of zoological reference (exactly right)

If you come dressed as Heidi Klum dressed as a worm, you win. I don't know what you win, but you win.

Oh nice, animal theme, I can finally bring my animal! 
No. No you cannot.

Is this the abandoned parking lot with the creepy tunnels? Yes!

And where the animals used to freely shred your soft-top convertibles?

Yes!

Accessibility

This is a slightly more challenging venue. The entire venue is an abandoned parking lot on a grade. While it is all asphalt, it hasn't been freshly paved in many years and some of the surface is loose and broken. The main entry is accessed at the upper part of a parking lot and the gate is at the bottom of a somewhat steep hill. If you have a concern about mobility and the hill by the gate, please tell a parking attendant and they can radio us for help with an alternative entry.

Parking

Parking is $5 because it is a state park and there's no way around that

Please have exact change, cash only, ready for our parking staff on the way in. This will GREATLY EASE TRAFFIC AND MAKE YOU THE MOST HEROIC OF ALL ATTENDEES AND WE WILL CROWN YOU EXACT CHANGE ROYALTY (maybe). Of course, if you have an opportunity to carpool or get dropped off, that's still extremely super cool of you and saves you money and allows for more attendee parking! :)

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 $20.

What to Bring

• A flashlight! Some parts of the faire are dark!
• Everyone you know!
• 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
• A book for the magickal book exchange
• 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.

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 :)

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.
