Special Circumstances
$5
ticketing.rate.earlyBirdChip

There are always exceptions and special circumstances. You May Say "I sell hand made chainmaille jewelry, but can only be there SUNDAY. No Tent. Put me anywhere inside. Can we make a special deal?" So, we might agree to a price (let's say $55.00) so you buy 11 tickets here.

OR: "I run a Maze Game, but we rarely make more than $100 on a weekend. Put me at the far edge of the Grounds. We can do $35 and will give you 50 free passes to hand out." IF we agree, you would buy Seven tickets. (These are just examples. We have to agree to it before it's a done deal.)

Beer Garden Space
$1,500
ticketing.rate.earlyBirdChip

We have two Beer Garden Sellers already reserved. If your Brewery/Winery wishes to be an additional provider, $1,500 will get Barriers, Tables, Chairs, and space at the other end of the Faire. WSF will get the additional Liquor License, but you supply Security, MAST Card Holding servers, and your own brew, wine, mead, ciders...

IF you already have any of the above (like the Barriers), talk to us and we will strike a faire bargain.

This price is good until March 01, 2026
