Costumer's Marketplace

Welcome to the Costume College 2008 Costumer’s Marketplace. We are always working make your shopping experience wonderful, and are pleased to promise an exciting variety of both familiar and new specialty dealers.

The Costumer’s Marketplace is always open to the general public as well as to Costume College members. (Please see hours at left.) If you have friends who will not be not attending Costume College, invite them to the Marketplace. It can be a great "first taste" that gives people a sense of what the College has to offer. Our goal for Costumer's Marketplace is to bring together a perfect mix of costume supplies and information that will fulfill all of your costume needs, desires and dreams.
