We can’t wait to see your costumes! Please do not wear costumes that may offend someone based on their culture, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, physical appearance, disabilities, or socio-economic status. For further guidance and context, see this NPR article from 2019.

We look forward to seeing you all there!
