We're taking this show on the road!!!

Before we get going please note:

This is 2 separate night markets not a sleepover party inside the faire even though we say sleepover party. It's a different kind where everyone goes to their own hotel room and then meets back the next day after sleeping late and waking up and having a leisurely brunch and an optional mimosa or two.

Both the current and former mayors of Lake George have summoned us to their pristine vacationland by the lake, and we have heartily accepted the call! It's time to bring the witches and weirdos of the Mid-Atlantic to meet the witches and weirdos of New England for a weekend that would make Salem in October jealous.

We booked our hotels, we started making checklists, we're bringing the giant letters and giant wings and neons and characters and vendors and magick, duh. The only thing left is to tell everyone on the Eastern Seaboard the plan: meet in Lake George in the middle of June.

We're having a 2-night faire! 2 spells, 2 themes, 2 different evenings of fun. 1 awesome community waiting for you!

To again be clear, we aren't all sleeping over in the festival grounds in a pile. This isn't Woodstock it's Lake George. I haven't done festival camping in years and I'm probably too rickety and apnea-prone for it at this point. However, I do have a lovely hotel room right down the street and promise to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at the crack of 5pm when we start it all over again on Sunday.

Themes:

Because it's a sleepover weekend, the theme on Saturday, of course, must be PAJAMAS!!! And because it is also June and we love love love a pride faire, Sunday is PRIDE!!!

Parking

No parking fee!

Parking is first-come, first-serve in the marked spots around the venue. Because of possible congestion, you may want to walk or Lyft/Uber from your hotel. Of course, if you have an opportunity to carpool, that's still extremely super cool of you and allows for more attendee parking! :)

Rain Date

This is an all weather event. The only reason we would cancel is if the weather is extremely severe or like the 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.

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.
