We have taken steps to ensure that there are as few barriers to enjoy the festival as possible. Although the venue offers many accessible areas,   it is an outdoor, grassy surface.

There are parking spots reserved for those with accessibility permits right close to the gates.  Also a drop off area. There is clear directional signage marking the location of the festival, the front gate is fully accessible. Support persons and animals are permitted to the festival.

Inside the festival, all food menus are written on large boards, the washrooms, food and drink service areas and stages are all wheelchair accessible. The Craft Beverage tent has tables with removable chairs.

There will be accessible seating areas. 

Multiple accessible washrooms will be made available. 

Should the Festival be postponed or cancelled, information will be provided to obtain refunds, please note ticketing fees are not refundable. Otherwise, Tickets are non-refundable.

Inside the festival grounds you will find a wide variety of food and drink, both non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. Food and drink is a key part of the Cutlivate experience, and our vendors appreciate your support more than ever. We know different people have different needs, but please be considerate of these vendors as much as possible and be sure to pack out any waste that you bring in.

Outside alcohol is completely forbidden. Anyone caught with outside alcohol will be asked to leave the festival and will not be permitted to return.

Cultivate welcomes support animals but no other animals will be permitted. As a working farm, it's very important and no acceptions will be made. Sorry.

There will be. Keep checking in here! We'll be announcing the daily schedule on January 5th
