*Honorable Mentions (number will vary)

$10 cover. DJs Mark Paradise and Tom Gold in the main ballroom, Sean out on the patio, and your favorite Disney/Pixar tunes upstairs in Rapunzel’s tower. 

Costumes must be street legal, and weapons must be conform to state/federal laws- orange tips, no projectiles, no real blades or bats. 

Hate symbols of any kind, even historical or pop culture (I’m looking at you, Wolfenstein) are not permitted. 

All military/service/law enforcement costumes must be distinguishable from official uniforms. 

Shoes are required. Open-toed shoes are allowed but not recommended. Skates are not allowed. 

Please be respectful of other patrons, in or out of cosplay. Cosplay is not the equivalent of consent. 

The Castle has ZERO tolerance of drug use or underage drinking. Just don’t do it. 

PLEEEEEEASE tip the venue staff. They work extra hard on nights like these to make us all have fun and feel welcome.

For those of you just looking for a good time with like-minded people, costumes aren’t required. 😉
