Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at Washington Shakespeare Festival Celebration's Faire du Well! Renaissance Faire and Shakespearean Festival Event. It's a Celebration like no other, and we want you to be there! 🎉 Merchants, Informational Tables, Demonstrators, Food &amp; Drink Vendors! NOTE: With the cooperation of the Skagit County Fairgrounds, we should have INDOOR space available to accommodate almost ALL of the vendors and displays of the Faire INSIDE the Faire's buildings, should the weather prove troublesome. So, Rain or Shine, FAIRE du WELL goes on. NB: The Washington Shakespearean Festival (WSF - a 501-c-3 not-for profit) is a "Rainbow-Friendly" educational and cultural entity. We encourage everyone to be who they wish to be. We expect every Vendor, Performer, Artisan, Talent, Volunteer, and Sponsor to treat each other with respect.The WSF prohibits bullying and harassment of all individual and groups, especially protected classes that include ethnicity, sex, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, health-status, or disability.  Ongoing/unwelcome behavior which involves the use of influence, threat, intimidation, or coercion to cause hurt or harm to another person or group of people is not allowed. We work towards Equity and Inclusion. We welcome Diversity. If you fill out this form, it is then acknowledged that you agree to work with this mission statement in mind and will do your utmost to support, welcome, and respect all of the people who tread on these lands.  TO ANYONE WHO ACCEPTS MONIES: WSF produces Trade Tokens (Elizabethan 'Angels' - image at the bottom of this). These hand-minted brass coins are sold as souvenirs, and are also good for $5.00 towards any purchase at our Faires. Treat them the same as you would a $5.00 bill USD. You are encouraged to hand them out as change. WSF will buy every Angel back from you for $5.00 USD. There are no service fees involved. 1 Coin = $5.00. (Think of them like Casino Poker Chips). ALSO: Once you apply, and pay, if you need to withdraw BEFORE the Faire, we will issue you a refund along this schedule. IF for some reason we cannot accommodate your application, we will refund you $100% of your fee.Withdrawal of an application increases our fees the closer to the Faire du Well date.If by the last day of February, 2026, you get an 80% refund. If by the last day of March, 2026, you get an 70% refund. If by the last day of April, 2026, you get an 60% refund. If by the last day of May, 2026, you get an 50% refund. And if anytime in June before the 10th of June, you get an 30% refund. If after June 10th, or you simply fail to show up, NO REFUND. (However, we are not unreasonable people. If there is an issue and you have to withdraw, call us. Let's talk. We may be able to work out a solution to the issue, such as holding your payment over til our 2027 Faire.) Please note, the prices will be going up after the first of the year (01/01/26). Those who register before then get the best spots for display and camping. AND... THANK YOU: Every registration to this event will bring us closer to achieving our mission. Together, we can create a brighter, more educated and entertained world for all. Thank you for supporting our mission by letting us help your venture succeed. :-) We want to make this a GREAT, FUN, and REWARDING event for everyone!Tell us how we may make this event work better for YOU!
