Lunar Faire 9/29 Vasa Park

Party in the woods again? Yup!

You loved Vasa Park. We loved Vasa Park. We're going back to Vasa Park. It's too magickal to stay away!

And we know you love a theme. So we're doing: Dark and Light! You can go higher concept good and evil, or maybe you interpret it as contrast. Angels and devils, sun and moon, shadows and light, crows and doves, salt and pepper, heroines and villainesses, you get it. Maybe I'll dust off my giant black Maleficent style blanket jacket I had made for last year. Or maybe I'll just put on a light up devil ears headband we'll see how motivated I get.

I feel like you guys are gonna really kill this theme.

Parking

$5 fee! (cash only, exact change please)

It's not zero dollars but at least it isn't $20. As you know by now, parking fees are always required by the venue and never imposed by and do not go to us, they go straight to the venue. We will have shuttles from the farther parking lots as well. 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 saves you money! :)

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 to the venue, and 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 (except some special events in which case there will be a separate purchasable ticket for them).

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.

Photos

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

Covid Stuff

Mask mandates are rapidly changing and we are a compassionate crowd! Please bring one, and wear one when appropriate or asked. We will comply with all mandates as they roll out closer to the event date and ask for your cooperation and empathy.

Additionally, exposure to COVID-19 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 Coronavirus. Attendees should evaluate their own risk in determining whether to attend. Don't come if you're sick, showing symptoms, or generally cantankerous. People who show no symptoms can spread Coronavirus if they are infected, any interaction with the general public poses an elevated risk of being exposed to Coronavirus. By coming to Lunar Faire, you acknowledge and agree that you assume these inherent risks associated with attendance.
