The first-place winner will take home $5,000, followed by $2,500 for second place and $1,000 for third place. The costume contest begins at 10 p.m. on the 3rd Street Stage and will feature three rounds. Contestants must be 21 or older and register onsite from 7 to 9 p.m. at the 3rd Street Stage. A valid ID is required at registration.
