For the grand Montana Renaissance Festival, we beseech our esteemed guests to don attire befitting the splendid era of the Renaissance or the myriad realms of fantasy.
Yet fear not, for those who wish to tread the grounds in their customary garb, such choice is well within the bounds of acceptability.

However, for the safety and enjoyment of all festival-goers, we require that any weapons included as part of a costume be peace-tied and rendered incapable of causing harm.
All weapons will be inspected at the festival entrance, and we reserve the right to refuse admittance to anyone carrying a weapon that could be deemed unsafe or inappropriate.
This policy ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees, allowing everyone to immerse themselves fully in the magic of the Renaissance era.

At the Montana Renaissance Festival, we hold dear the safety and comfort of all our festival-goers, hence our policy regarding pets is crafted with great consideration. Alas, pets are not permitted within the festival bounds and must not be left unattended in parked carriages.
However, in adherence to the Montana Human Rights Act, we warmly welcome service animals accompanying our esteemed patrons and guests. These faithful companions are allowed in most areas of our festival, save for performances involving animals, exhibits, or rides to ensure the safety and well-being of all creatures present. It is requisite that service animals don attire such as a vest, leash, collar, or backpack that clearly identifies them as service animals, in compliance with the said Act.
We also remind our guests that it is unlawful to misrepresent a pet as a service animal. We kindly request that you provide for your service animal’s needs, including sustenance and hydration, and have on hand the necessary implements for waste management. All service animals must be securely leashed at all times and be current on their vaccinations, as per the decree of our festival’s policy, to maintain the highest standards of health and safety.
At the Montana Renaissance Festival, we hold the health and comfort of all our patrons in the highest regard. In adherence to this commitment, there is no smoking allowed on the festival grounds.
We have designated specific areas OUTSIDE the festival grounds. These areas have been chosen to ensure that all guests, including those with sensitivities or preferences against smoking, can enjoy the festival in comfort.
Yes you will receive a wristband or handstamp for re-entry.
At the Montana Renaissance Festival, we wholeheartedly encourage the capturing of memories and the sharing of thine own experiences through photographs and videos. ‘Tis a splendid way to preserve the magic of the festival and share the joy with others.
We find that most festival-goers are delighted to have their likenesses captured or to pose with others, contributing to the shared merriment and memories of the day. Nonetheless, we kindly request that all festival-goers seek permission before taking photographs or videos of non-performers. This courteous approach ensures respect for the privacy and comfort of all our guests, allowing everyone to enjoy the festival to the fullest.
We greatly appreciate thy cooperation in this matter and look forward to seeing the festival through thine eyes. Share thy captures with us using the hashtag #MontanaRenFest, and perchance, see thine images featured in our future promotions. Let us together create a tapestry of memories that will last a lifetime!

Furthermore, they have assured us that the methods of yore, such as the use of leeches, shall not be employed in their treatments, ensuring a blend of modern medical practices within our historical revelry.
Alas, within the bounds of our Montana Renaissance Festival, the modern marvel of Wi-Fi is not available for participants. Fear not, for those with devices magical and mundane, good cellular access through thine own providers doth ensure thou canst still connect with the world beyond our festival’s borders. Let not the absence of Wi-Fi dismay thee, for the festival is replete with wonders and spectacles that shall engage and entertain, making the need for such modern conveniences but a distant thought.
