The Ohio Garrison is a distinguished division of the 501st Legion, an international costuming club dedicated to the STAR WARS universe, boasting over 14,000 active members across 69 countries. Members of the Ohio Garrison passionately design, construct, and don a diverse array of high-quality costumes, representing iconic characters from the saga, including Stormtroopers, TIE Pilots, Darth Vader, and more. While our primary focus is on crafting amazing costumes, we also engage in community service, supporting various non-profit and charitable organizations through appearances at events like STAR WARS Reads and fundraisers for charities, including Make-a-Wish.

Over 25 years of service have earned the Ohio Garrison the nickname "Bad Guys Doing Good," as we bring joy and magic to children and families. Collaborating with local sister organizations and regional squads, we ensure a vibrant presence at events throughout Ohio and beyond. Whether at movie releases or charity functions, the Ohio Garrison strives to share the STAR WARS legacy, uniting fans and spreading positivity wherever we go.
