hibernate festival

Cultivate Festival takes place on September 22, 23 and 24 at Haute Goat Farm, rural Port Hope. 

Check out our Camping section on the site. 

You can pop this into your GPS. You could also cycle - it's a beautiful ride!

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.

You sure did! 

Exclusive for campers, we'll be having a lot of fun around the campfire once the gates close. More free programming for you to enjoy, now go get those camping tickets!

General Admission pricing covers the full festival experience, but does not include food and drink purchases. Ask nicely though, and you never know what you'll get. 🙂

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.

We have a dedicated Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility committee on-site to ensure we can make the experience as enjoyable as possible. 

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. 

Tickets are non-refundable. Cultivate Festival is rain or shine!

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.

There will be! You can see what is happening on what days at this point. We should have a schedule out soon. 

Right here!
