We’ve seen it all from dragon boats to streetcars, sports teams to donuts! This year, show us your favorite creation! Your costume must be tasteful and appropriate for G (“general”) audiences, and – ideally – home made. We reserve the right to disqualify inappropriate costumes.
Everyone entering the contest will be pre-judged. You must arrive at the screening area west of the stage no later than 4:30 p.m. on Saturday evening with your bib number on your costume. The stage is closest to the Yamhill Gate entrance to CityFair. To conduct the contest in a timely and tasteful fashion, our judges will pre-screen contestants in each category and reward the top 6 in each category with the chance to continue to the final round. At 5:00 p.m. you must be present for final judging in front of the crowd of event participants! All times subject to change for the 2023 event.
