Artisan Participation Information
Products
All products must be representative of the Renaissance period in both medium and subject matter.
In addition, we require the work to be original and created by the Artisans themselves. Only one
craft category is allowed per booth and we would prefer it if each booth could provide some
type of demonstration.

All participants are required to be in period costume during Festival hours. They must
supply their own costumes according to the Festival costume guide that is available
to accepted participants. All participants are also required to develop standards in costume,
speech and booth display.
