Registration

Registration has been simplified to parallel a traditional online shopping experience.
To speed up the registration process, we recommend creating an account or logging in prior to adding workshops to your cart.
You can add multiple registrations to your cart prior to checkout.
After adding a workshop to your cart, do not refresh your browser.
A notification will display in cart and at checkout for overlapping registrations.
Registrations and access to the Festival Dashboard are assigned to the account holder at checkout by default.
If you are buying for another person, check “I am purchasing for someone else” at checkout and enter their name and email address. An email notification will be sent for them to create an account.
Registrations cannot be combined. If registering for multiple people, you must submit separate transactions.
Please verify all information and registration(s) before checkout.
Changes after checkout will be subject to a $25 processing fee.

15-Minute Registration Hold

You have 15-minutes to complete checkout after adding a workshop to your cart.
A timer is displayed in the cart and at checkout to serve as a reminder.
After 15-minutes the workshop will be removed from your cart and made available for others to register.

Sold Out/Waitlist

If a workshop is sold out, you can choose to add yourself to the waitlist. If additional seats become available, everyone on the waitlist will receive an email notification. Registrations are first come, first serve.

*NEW* Festival Dashboard

The Festival Dashboard serves as the hub for all information regarding workshop registrations.
After checkout, you may review your registrations within the dashboard.
Festival notices and updates will also be made available in the dashboard.
The dashboard also provides access to the billing portal where you can review purchases, download receipts, and update billing information.
