Join us for a costume swap and workshop!

For the Workshop, we'll have a variety of tools and materials just waiting for you to apply your magic. Start from scratch or bring your works in progress.

The Swap is all about take one, leave one: a great way to pass along last year's costume and find something new-to-you in the process! Costumes for all ages, in clean, usable conditions are welcome. Items can be dropped off in advance or at the time of the swap.

These are all ages activities, but please note that youth 8 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
