Fae Costumes
Like a renfaire for the fae folk, attendees are encouraged to dress like elves, satyrs, wood nymphs, goblins, brownies, etc. Leaf wreaths, pointy ears, or a pair of horns fit right in... but that doesn't mean we don't like the odd-one out, wear that StarCraft Cosplay if you want, we will love you for it. The Goat Queen and her flock of fae will be a spectacle on hand to greet you.
Live Goats
Contrary to some beliefs, there will be no eating of goats. But there will be live goats abound! Have a beer, pet a baby goat. Blow kisses at the goats. Tell goat stories.
Wandering Wizard
What's a beer n' goat fest without some real wizardry? Wandering Wizard Norman Basile will be out and about performing magic up close and personal right before your eyes.
Food Vendors

Fire Dance Ritual
As it gets darker, out come the flames. Those who have attended Goat Queen before know the beat will thump, the sky will shout, the fire will alight and bounce through the air all to culminate in the vaporization of our burdens.
Exotic Arts
7PM is the cutoff time for the under-18 crowd for good reason. The art continues with a more exotic flavor, including the beautiful work of a pole dancer.
Burlesque
Chicago oddity extraordinaire Sally Marvel will be gracing guests with her incredible performance presence.
