Q: I plan to attend events virtually. How do I use the pass then?

A: An email will be sent to you as a Fest Pass holder that explains how to get virtual access to festival events.

Q: How about the workshops?

A: As a Fest Pass holder, you will be invited to register early for the adult workshops that interest you. You will be notified by email when early registration opens and will be informed about how to use your Fest Pass to register for the adult workshops of your choice. Please note: space is limited. Fest Pass holders should register for adult workshops early to reserve their spot. Once a workshop fills, registration will be closed to all, including Fest Pass holders.

Q: Do I need to buy a Fest Pass if I'm a teen or have a teen who'd like to attend the festival?

No, you don't. Folks 13-18 will be admitted free to all events and workshops, though they will need to register for workshops beforehand to reserve their place. Registration for youth workshops will open by Oct. 15. Once spaces are filled, registration will close.

Q: I have a few more questions ...
