The Weekend Pass event price covers a roleplaying token that is used for the entirety of your stay and for a tent site to enjoy the boisterous and active night life of the Dagorath festival. Day rates can be purchased instead if you prefer not to camp.  I'm camping! When can I arrive? Standard Weekend admission opens at 12 PM on Thursday. Troll is open for campers and fighters beginning at 10 AM Friday-Sunday.  I need to check my weapons and am not camping. Can I arrive early? Yes\, fighters can check in as early as 10 AM Friday-Sunday to get their weapons checked.  Where do I go once I arrive? To Troll Check-in! There will be signs pointing you in the correct direction: once you turn into the Fairgrounds Entrance\, turn right at the T intersection\, and there will be a 10x10 tent near the fighting field.  Am I expected to fight or dress up for the event? There are many opportunities for fun without fighting for non-combatants! Shops\, craft vendors\, spectating combat\, and even quests are available for folks who don't want to swing a battle-bat or sword. Costumes or "garb" is expected while fighting\, but not required.  Can I bring a real weapon? The only fighting permitted at Dagorath uses specific foam weapons. You may bring weapons for costume purposes\, but they will be peace-tied for everyone's safety. No firearms are allowed at the Fairgrounds.  Can I bring my dog? Yes please! Make sure they stay on leash and provide proof of rabies vaccination at check-in.  Is there an ATM on site? No ATM on site\, but there are some nearby in town. Plan to bring cash to make things easier for vendors and check-in.  Are the classes free? How do I sign up? Some are free\, some have a small fee depending on the type of class. Classes with limited spots and/or a fee will require prior reservation at check-in. Reservations are on a first come first serve basis\, there will be no refund if you forget to show up for your class within 10 minutes of start.  Where do I camp? Ask at Troll for what spots are available for your tent\, make sure to let them know if you are part of a group of campers. If you have a medical necessity for electricity\, we have reserved spots near the outlets for you\, let the staff at Troll know your needs.  Will there be food or drinks for sale? Yes\, but the options are limited. Outside food and drink is permitted and encouraged! If you want to purchase alcohol\, please have your ID at check-in to get a wristband.  What kind of amenities are on site? There are spigots for town-filtered water all around the site and plenty of electric outlets as well. No showers\, but there will be port-o-castles available. There are lots of overhead lights for navigating at night\, but they are not everywhere. Bringing a lantern or flashlight is a good idea!  Can we light fires? Where do we get firewood? Yes\, fires are permitted depending on the County restrictions. Fires must be above-ground in a fire bowl with an extinguisher nearby. No fires on top of the hill\, due to the constant breeze. Firewood can be ordered M-F from Timber Works right next door to the Fairgrounds\, call 540-254-5773.  \nTickets\nPlease note that a completed waiver is required for participation\, which may be completed online in advance.
