Advance tickets for the 2026 Festival will go on sale on March 1. This year’s ticket prices are the same as last year’s: the All-Festival ticket price is $120; individual sessions are $45 each, and Friday evening is $25. As always, there are discounts for NEFFA members, seniors, and young people.
You can earn free admission as a volunteer. Six or more hours of volunteering earns you admission to the whole Festival, but you can volunteer for fewer hours if you like and earn admission to one or more sessions.
For the second year we’ll be offering a Festival Sampler ticket! It costs $10 (8 and under free), is valid from 11am to 4pm on Saturday and/or 10am to 5:30pm on Sunday (separate tickets), and gives you access to the Marketplace, food trucks, dance performances and other Trade Center activities. You can read the details on the website.
