As you can see, the people who come to
SAVE HALLOWEEN:
A FOLK HALLOWEEN EXPERIENCE
have a blast imagining and creating their costumes.
You can purchase parts of your costume and still enter the contest. You just have to imagine / create it. You can buy a costume, but those aren't eligible for the contest.
DIY Mask Creation Resources
Costumes are required for the experience, but you may purchase a mask or costume (you'll have to at least buy a mask at the door as it is a masquerade experience). However, you must create a costume to participate in the contest (components or parts of it of course may be purchased).
We highly encourage all participants to create their own costumes as we're trying to restore this and other long forgotten folk arts and customs related to this Hallows Eve. We understand, however, that life gets in the way sometimes. Don't sweat it...
Luckily for you, we have assembled a list of DIY resources that will help you put together your own mask and costume at home in case you are unable to attend the free paper mache mask and costume workshop.
Please Note:
Only attendees who have created their own costumes/masks will be allowed to participate in the Creative Costume Contest
