Come Live the Fantasy and celebrate Spring at Scarborough Renaissance Festival®. Cosplay fans, DC, Marvel, Anime, Steampunk, and fantasy enthusiasts of all kinds; this weekend is just for you with fantasy costumes being the attire of choice! Note that costumes are always welcome but not required. There will be family friendly fantasy-based costume contests for adults as well as separate costume contests for kids 12 and under.

This weekend is also the Spring Celebration at Scarborough Renaissance Festival® in commemoration of May Day. Visitors can join in the fun along with the Festival’s performers by donning colorful flowers to welcome in Spring.

“Costumes are always welcome at Scarborough, but this weekend is focused on the fantasy realm, and we invite everyone to come show off their cosplay alter-egos!” Says Helaine Thompson, Director of Marketing & Communications of Scarborough Renaissance Festival®. “It will also be one of the best people watching spectacles of the season with comic book and sci-fi characters joined by fairies, gnomes, and all other manner of fantasy creatures everywhere you look!”
