They can take turns waving, join a simple dance or watch quietly before deciding.

Can we assume the character program or date is set?

Character parties in Johnston

For a Johnston, Iowa, celebration, put the child's comfort first and the schedule second. A gentle opening might be a wave at the doorway, followed by a photo with a parent if the child wants one. Give guests a choice between watching and joining a short group activity. If using a state park shelter or lodge, check its change conditions before coordinating the date with a character visit. Ask us to confirm the requested program, costs and availability.

Before you pick the spot in Johnston

Useful rules and places to check, each with its official source.

  1. Check changes before committing to a date

    Iowa DNR publishes a deadline for changing cabin, lodge and shelter reservations. Review the current change and cancellation conditions before coordinating the gathering date with an entertainer. Verify the exact shelter or lodge and the proposed activity with the operator; a reservation change policy is not permission for hired entertainment.

  2. Choose a real indoor backup

    For any outdoor gathering, arrange an accessible indoor backup before the party. National Weather Service guidance identifies buildings with wiring and plumbing as stronger protection; an open picnic shelter is not a lightning backup. This is national planning guidance, not a local venue rule.

Sources checked 2026-10-04. Check the current venue rules before you plan. Venue guidance does not mean a venue has approved character visits.
