MRF Harassment Policy

It is the policy of The Montana Renaissance Festival that harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. We believe that all people deserve to be treated with dignity, decency and respect.

Everyone is at the Faire to have fun, and it is possible, in the name of fun, to sometimes go too far. Remember that if someone asks you to stop doing something that is bothering them, you must stop. If you have been harassed, you should ask the person who is harassing you to stop their behavior. If they do not stop, report it to Faire Security or Faire Management.

The Montana Renaissance Festival reserves the right to ask anyone who is harassing another to leave the Faire.

If you have any questions please contact us. Thank you!
