Garrison Carida is a Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia based Star Wars costuming group founded in May 1999. This group consists of individuals that show their love for Star Wars by wearing detailed replica costumes of such favorite characters as Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, Scout Troopers, Snow Troopers, Bounty Hunters, etc. The members of Garrison Carida routinely attend local science fiction conventions, parades, blood drives, toy stores, community fundraisers and make local appearances at several charity events.

Donations of new Star Wars books and Star Wars toys will be accepted and distributed by the 501st Legion during hospital visits.
