NRV Renaissance Festival Code of Conduct

Our mission is to provide a safe, clean and inviting experience for family entertainment. To ensure all of our guests enjoy their time, we require every visitor to comply with the following rules and policies.

Behavior

Guests are asked to conduct themselves in a manner appropriate for a family-friendly event. Unruly, disruptive or offensive behavior, including failing to adhere to posted safety regulations, is strictly prohibited. Guests who appear intoxicated, under the influence of illegal substances or exhibit any other illicit or belligerent behavior will be escorted from the premises without refund and/or turned over to the proper authorities.

Dress Guidelines

Proper family friendly attire is required for the duration of your visit. In order to maintain an environment suitable for guests of all ages, and in consideration of your personal health and safety, shirts and shoes must be worn at all times. Clothing depicting rude, vulgar and otherwise offensive language or images is not permitted. Clothing in multiple layers is subject to search. We reserve the right to deny admission to or remove any person wearing attire that we consider inappropriate or attire that could distract from the experience of other guests. Clothing that represents someone as emergency personnel is prohibited.

Guests in violation of our dress code will be asked to add a layer or to leave and will be escorted from the premises.
