Saturday, July 21 is Costume Day at BMD.

We encouraging everyone to show up on Saturday in a costume and compete in our Costume Contest at 1 pm on the Gazebo Stage. We provide a cash prize in each category. Now is the time to begin planning your costume.

To be eligible for the contest and to fill Bohemia City with period costumes, show up in an outfit that fits the late 1800s period.

Suggestions for costume competition are:

Victorian-era aristocrats

There are many ways to join in the fun. Here's some websites that sell these type costumes:

Historical Emporium
Recollections

Heritage Costumes

Please let us know of any local rental businesses for these types of costumes or local tailors who are willing to make one for you.  We'll be happy to post that information here.

Thanks!
