FAQ’s

Ignite the Arts is a mix of both free and tickets events. Certain events may be community partnership events, with ticket pricing and sales determined by the lead organizer. If the event is a seperate ticketed activity, we will clearly state that on any social media or corresponding advertising.

The second weekend (March 29 to 31) is the wrist band portion of the festival and that is where your ticket comes in! The ticket booth will be located dhwnstairs at Elks hall for the duration of the festival weekend. Wristbands will get you access to all of our day stage events, as well as select workshops, and evening concerts during this time period. With over 100 different artists preforming across 2 full days and four venues, you really get a bang for your buck on this!

Each musical act will be preforming two sets over the course of the weekend, to ensure that you have time to catch all your favourites. Due to the nature of capacity limits in our venues, there may be a waiting period if one venue becomes filled, which is why we have staggered the acts and chosen venues within walking distance of each other. Most venues will be festival seating, as in you may be seated at a table with others if you are on your own or in a couple. If you have an issue with this please let the venue know and we will do everything in our power to make you feel safe and still have fun!

Parking is limited to what is available near the venues. Our venues are all within walking distance of each other, and we encourage those who are able to walk or take eco-transportation, but we understand the limitations. We recommend bringing parking fare.

All of our venues are fully accessible, apart from the upstairs of the Elks Hall (Warryn Berry Stage.) For this reason, we have scheduled all acts preforming upstairs to also have a set an an accessible location. If you plan on attending a Tempest Theatre event, we ask that you call and give us a heads up so they can open the side door with the ramp for you upon your arrival.
