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, Fraternal Order of the Raven!) are not permitted. 

All military/service/law enforcement costumes must be distinguishable from official uniforms. Not sure? Don’t wear it. 

Shoes are required. Open-toed shoes are allowed but not recommended. Skates are not allowed. Sorry, Harleys!

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

The Castle has ZERO tolerance of drug use or underage drinking. Just don’t do it. You MUST have valid ID. No photos on phones, W**d cards, concealed weapons permits, school IDs, birth certificates, social media pages, etc. 

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. ;)
