Full-time registration includes all meals, workshops, concerts, and dances. A limited number of registrations are available. Folklore Village strives to give the most opportunities possible to learn and experience the culture and traditions of our guest artists. We do not offer a spectator fee. If you are on Folklore Village grounds you must pay the admission price. Thank you for supporting our mission!
Registration and Payment Options
Although we encourage full-time registration, we recognize that not all are able to attend full-time. Please call, or check our website for part-time options.
Payment: We require a minimum 50% payment with registration, which you may do via check or by phoning us with credit card information. We accept online credit card payments via the PayPal and Stripe links at the end of each festival’s registration portal; however, our registration software requires full payment to submit the registration. We cannot accept credit card payments via email.
Kitchen Scholarships:
It takes a village to pull off our festivals. Be part of the dishwashing crew after each meal for a reduced tuition! Please inquire early and speak with staff.
Other Scholarships:
Festival-specific scholarships may be available. Please consult the webpage for the festival for more information.
