Event Guide
The moment fall arrives, my heart practically glows, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share what we’ve been brewing for you! Our Fall Market + Spooky Little Craft Fest is all about big creativity, big community energy, and the magic that makes this season unforgettable!!! And we’ve packed the entire weekend with activities that make it feel extra special!!
🎃 Friday - Pumpkin Prize Pit
Welcome to the Pumpkin Prize Pit, a corn-filled treasure barrel where every pumpkin is a winner. Each ticket holder gets one magical pick - take your turn, grab a pumpkin, and claim whatever prize is written on it. From STICKII Advent calendars to Simply Gilded washi, Pipsticks stickers, Hubman and Chubgirl Bundles, exclusive merch, stationery, and other surprises. Stay tuned for even more prize reveals.
👻 Saturday - Trick‑or‑Treating
Trick‑or‑Treating with our vendors is happening on Saturday in the Marketplace! Wander booth to booth and see what each maker has brewed up for you. Participating vendors will be handing out either a treat…or a trick! Every booth has its own spooky rules, surprises, and mischief, so be sure to check their signs to see how to play.
And don’t forget to bring your bucket (or bag, cauldron, pumpkin pail, whatever your spooky heart desires) to collect all your goodies along the way.
🧛Sunday - Costume Contest
Join us this Sunday in the marketplace for our big Costume Contest, a festive, family‑friendly celebration of creativity and Halloween fun! Dress up in your cutest, spookiest, or most magical costume and show off your look throughout the Marketplace.
Our vendors will also be joining the fun in costume and will help choose this year’s winners. The last voting tickets will be given out by 2 PM, so be sure to be out and about in your costume before then.
At 2:30 PM, we’ll gather at Lone Star to announce the results. We’ll be selecting 10 winners, winners will receive a selection of special prizes.
To keep our Sunday Costume Contest fun, safe, and enjoyable for all ages, we’ll be enforcing the following family‑friendly guidelines:
1. Costumes must be family appropriate
No overly scary, gory, graphic, or violent imagery. Please avoid realistic weapons, horror effects, or anything that may frighten younger attendees.
2. No real or replica weapons
This includes prop guns, knives, swords, bats, chains, or anything that resembles a weapon. Soft foam props are okay if they are clearly non‑functional and non‑threatening.
3. Keep costumes comfortable and safe
Costumes should not obstruct vision, mobility, or create tripping hazards. Oversized wings, long trailing fabrics, or bulky pieces should be worn with care.
4. Respectful themes only
No offensive, discriminatory, or culturally insensitive costumes. We want everyone to feel welcome and celebrated.
5. Masks & face coverings
Decorative masks are allowed, but full-face coverings should be removable for identification if requested by staff.
6. No messy or hazardous materials
Avoid costumes that shed glitter excessively, leak liquids, use sharp edges, or include open flames or smoke effects.
7. Be mindful of personal space
Large costumes or props should be handled carefully around booths, displays, and other attendees.
8. Keep it fun, creative, and kind
This is a joyful community event, please help us maintain a positive, welcoming atmosphere for families, kids, and guests of all ages.
To ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone, attendees who arrive in costumes that violate these guidelines may be kindly asked to adjust their outfit or may be turned away from participating. Our goal is simply to protect the family‑friendly nature of the event.
✨What days are you attending? We can’t wait to celebrate with y’all and make this weekend unforgettable!!!

Why are we using Timed Entry?
- Timed entry helps us keep the marketplace safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for everyone. By spreading out arrival times, we can welcome each group smoothly and avoid big rushes at the door. Please arrive no earlier than 30 minutes before your assigned slot. For example, if your entry time is 11 AM, you’re welcome to start lining up at 10:30 AM. This gives the earlier group space to enter before the next wave arrives.
- Once you’re inside, you’re part of the fest for the whole day. Feel free to stay as long as you like, re-enter anytime, and wander in and out of the marketplace.
- Enjoy unlimited re-entry, come and go as it fits your day. Explore workshops, grab food and drink from the food trucks, and enjoy all the spaces we’ve created for our community to gather and celebrate.
Reminder:
- Please be sure to include your email address in order to receive your E-Ticket. After placing your order, you will receive an email containing a link to download your ticket in PDF format and instructions to add your mobile tickets to Apple Wallet for iPhone or Google Wallet for Android. On the day of the event, just open your digital wallet app to display the ticket's QR code for a seamless check-in experience.
- Children aged 8 and under can enter the marketplace free of charge.
- Workshops aren’t included in the Daily Pass or 3‑Day Pass. You do not need a Marketplace admission ticket to attend workshops. We’re keeping things flexible so you can jump straight into the fun. Our classrooms are located on the first and second floor, separate from the Marketplace area which is in the Regency Ballroom. You may proceed directly to the classroom, where you will be checked in separately.
- You can purchase tickets for your family and friends. For the Single Day Pass, the maximum number of tickets is capped at 10, and for the 3-Day Pass, the limit is 5. The system will ask for a name and email for each individual ticket, ensuring the QR codes are sent to the corresponding email addresses provided.
