Event F.A.Q.
Do I need a ticket to attend Herbstalk classes?
Yes, a ticket is required if you want to attend classes. There are options for attending one day or for the whole weekend. If you want to attend an Intensive class (longer, more specialized topics) then you'll need a separate ticket for those, but a Weekend Class Pass is included in the purchase. You can find tickets here. We recommend purchasing in advance; a limited number of tickets will be available at the door. Drop into any class you like the day of -- there is no need to register in advance for specific classes.
Kids 14 and younger can attend any of the classes listed as family friendly for free!
