TICKET FAQs

You are able to choose between our 4-Day Festival Pass and the 1-Day Festival Pass. With the 1-Day Pass, you’ll have access to all the main events on your chosen day. If you prefer flexibility, opt for the 4-Day Pass and come and go as you please.

Keep in mind, though, that neither pass includes entry to separately ticketed special programs such as Special Event, Masterclass, or Cultural Workshop.
