What is included with the cost of admission?

Accepted Answer

All stage shows, quest experiences, and other entertainment are included with admission. Games, rides, food, and beverages will incur additional charges.

Question 3

Can I wear my costume to the faire?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Costumes are welcomed and encouraged! We love when people enjoy the renaissance faire experience enough to come in costume. Costumes can be historical or fantasy in design. Black Arm bands (AKA Mourning Bands) are heavily discouraged for guests as they are used as identifiers for staff.

Question 4

What is your weapons policy?

Accepted Answer

If you plan to bring real or metal weapons (such as swords, daggers, axes), they must be peace-tied. Peace-tied means that weapons need to be secured to your belt or the scabbard at all times. This is for the safety of all attendees. We will have ties available at the gate if you need them. Real or Metal Weapons purchased at the Faire need to be peace-tied or remain in their packages. Children's and toy weapons are not required to be peace-tied.

Yes! Every year we have been open, we have strived to create a family friendly atmosphere for all to enjoy!

East Idaho Renaissance Faire is open rain or shine.  Don't worry though, if there is inclement weather, we still have many fun activities that can be done under our covered areas such as tavern and stages. No refunds will be given in case of inclement weather.

Question 7

Do you sell Alcohol or can I bring my own?

Accepted Answer

No. We are a dry venue. This policy includes hard sodas, mixed drinks, beer, wine, or liquor of any kind. If you are found drinking on fairgrounds, you will be asked to leave. If you find it necessary to smoke or vape, feel free to head out to our parking area.

Question 8

Can I bring my pets?

Accepted Answer

No dogs or other pets are allowed on the festival grounds, except Service Dogs and Service Mini Horses. Service animal means any dog or mini horse that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability.
​
A service animal must also be under control at all times.
​
We prefer that Service Animals have visual identification (vest, leashwraps, etc.), when you bring them into the festival gates as this helps let others know the animal is working and to give them space or to ask before interacting. Service dogs may be taken to any area in the festival.
​
Emotional support animals are not legally allowed in public places and cannot enter the festival grounds.

Is the faire handicap accessible?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is! We even have handicap parking available at the front gate.

Yes, most of our merchants accept credit cards. We do however encourage you to bring cash for those vendors or games that may not accept credit cards. We do also offer cash back at the gate if needed.

Question 11

If I leave the faire, can I get back in?"

Accepted Answer

As long as you are wearing your wristband/handstamp, you will be allowed back into the faire on the same day.

Question 12

Where is the lost and found?

Accepted Answer

Any items turned in can be found at our security station near the front gate or at the information tent. If your items are not there, please feel free to check back after closing as we have items that may be found during cleanup.

Do you have a Veterans/Military/First Responders Discount?
