General Admission includes a day on the farm in nature, free demos & activities, kids’ area, lunch hour music, prayer & meditation labyrinth, herb gardens, food & market vendors, library, lounge, parking

All Access Passes include General Admission for the days of the pass, workshops of your choice for the days of the pass (pre-registered, first come first served), camping (see specific tickets for details), and parking

Depending on workshop selection, All Access Pass holders can register for up to 3 workshops/day. (some workshops are longer projects and tak up two time slots)

Early Bird tickets include early access to workshop registration

Workshops are included with All Access Passes. Once our workshop line-up is ready, we’ll send you a registration link. Workshops are first-come, first served. Early bird ticket holders get early access to register.

General Admission tickets don’t include workshops. There’s a chance that there could be a few spots in some workshops the day-of that could be purchased on site.

YES. The pass provides General Admission for one person, and allows you to register for 1 workshop per session time. You can decide which festival ticket holder attends the workshops you register for. We think this is a good option for the couples/families who attend, as one person can get an All Access Pass, and the other can get a GA ticket, and workshops that are included in the pass can be split up between them.

No, we are not offering GA tickets for this day, as we think it will be a more intimate gathering, and there won’t be a lot of other stuff going on other than whole-group experiences and smaller group workshops which are only included in All Access Passes.

Tickets are non-refundable. The festival will go ahead, rain or shine. Tickets are however, transferrabe.

Yes. If you find you are unable to attend, you can sell or transfer your ticket to someone else. Please use caution if you’re thinking of buying a ticket from an individual or third party. Take Root Festival will not honour tickets that have been forged or duplicated.

YES. Either print your ticket or bring it on your phone. It will be scanned upon arrival, before you park.

Yes.

Hahaha. First-timer? Welcome! We can’t wait to meet you.

We fest rain or shine (usually rain)!

Come prepared with rubber boots, rain jacket, umbrella or whatever you need to be cozy. : )

You will receive our Attendee FAQ after you purchase a ticket. There you'll find more info on how to have the best festival experience possible!

• Bad attitudes, bigotry,

• While we love animals, pets are not allowed on the festival grounds.

• No disposable water bottles are allowed on site. We aim to be as low-waste as possible. Please BYOD - bring your own dishes!

• We have a designated smoking area, and other the that, smoking of all kinds is prohibited on site.
  

• Alcohol (due to insurance purposes) and illegal drugs are not allowed on the festival grounds.

There is plenty of parking right on site — yay! We reserve several accessible parking spots close to the main action. We strongly encourage carpooling; we usually start a Carpool thread on the Facebook event page. Our hope is to not see any single-person vehicles through the gate!

Nope. The nearest ATMs are in Scanterbury, Beausejour, or Selkirk.

Some of our vendors might accept debit or credit - we will know closer to the event. But come prepared with cash!

At this time we don’t have anything lined up, but will explore a forest-school type option for kids.

We provide an engaging kids area that is for kids with a parent or guardian to visit. We don’t provide supervision in this area.

Children should be supervised by their parent or guardian at all times. While we are into free-range parenting (we’e unschoolers ourselves), there are hazards on the farm and places to get lost, as well as demos and workshops that use power tools, hot items, etc. There are also bodies of water on site. Thank you for respecting this fest rule.

Babes in arms and toddlers on laps who are calm are welcome in workshops. There is a lot of space for kiddos who need to express themselves freely and run around outside of workshops. : )

Youth 13-19 need a Youth All Access Pass to attend workshops.

If a child younger than 13 wishes to attend workshops, a Youth All Access Pass can be purchased for them as long as they are ok to participate in a calm way and have a parent or guardian present in the workshop.

No. Camping is booked per site, up to 6 guests per space.

Many All Access Passes include camping. Be sure to check the ticket decriptions.

Camping is available only for folks who have multi-day tickets.

You bet! Our Volunteer application is up - check the nav a the top of the page to get to where you need to be! Thanks for considering joining the volunteer community!

Kinda.

This year we are offering Pre-Pitched Camping, where we set up your campsite for you. We provide a tent and take care of the tent-pole dance for you, so you can enjoy more time at the farm.

We’re also working on a bell tent option for a more luxury camping experience. Stay tuned for details!

Finally, there are several domes and cottages for rent nearby. We are in cottage country here, so there are some beautiul options.
