Something comfortable that you don't mind being photographed in. We suggest closed-toe shoes because the fair can be dusty but it should be a beautiful day. Feeling indecisive? Stash a change of clothing at our private event space.
Our private tent is conveniently located right between Gate 5 and Gate 6, we're location #19 on the map of the fair!
