👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 New for 2026: Family Pass & Family Program
For $300, your entire family receives full weekend access to the Expo. That's up to $210 in savings depending on your family size! 

The Family Pass includes:
• Admission for 2 adults
• Admission for up to 6 children under 18
• Access to all workshops and demonstrations
• Entry to the vendor marketplace
• Time for your whole crew to enjoy our dedicated family learning program

We are also offering a robust family program with a designated family learning tent, creating opportunities for kids and adults to learn together in an engaging, hands-on environment. Please note children are required to be accompanied by a caregiver at all times. The one exception is for teenagers whose caregivers are both engaged in classes and the teenager is engaged in the teen program. Children will be given one warning for behavior that interferes with program; if behavior persists, the caregiver will need to immediately respond and keep their child with them for the remainder of the Expo.

👀 We are looking for vendors - and we have double the vendor space (indoors and outdoors) so if you know someone who would serve our people well, please have them fill out this form: https://forms.gle/D7zgy6vSkCUxS6MX6
