FAQ

Tickets

What is included in the ticket?

Your ticket includes: all activities, on-site camping, water, and all the amenities necessary for a dream weekend.

Is the ticket refundable?

No, that's not the case, but we encourage you to share with the large Anathafest community if you need to resell your ticket.

What is included in the VIP ticket?

At Anatha, we’re not big fans of the word VIP. But we do believe in honoring those who choose to contribute a little more to support our mission.

That’s why we created the Connection Space — a cozy, soul-nourishing zone for those who are ready to receive… a little extra magic.

✨ Here’s what’s included:

  • 2 ice baths to reset your system like a wellness warrior
  • An on-site VIP massage therapist to melt away the tension you forgot you had
  • A professional astrologer for a moment of insight and self-understanding (or to chat about your Scorpio moon 👀)
  • Exclusive snacks & drinks (because you can’t vibe high on an empty stomach)
  • Private toilets nearby (comfort is sacred)
  • A reserved resting area to slow down, breathe, and reconnect
    Just a place to tune in, slow down, and feel held — in every sense.

Is it free for Childen?

Yes it is! It's free for children 15 and under.

Service

Can we sleep on site?

Yes, Anathafest offers numerous locations where you can camp in the great outdoors. You can also choose to experience van life or glamping by adding this option when purchasing your ticket.

What do we need to bring for the weekend?

Just come with the essentials to have a great weekend. No need to bring a thousand suitcases and loads of provisions; on the contrary, you'll tire yourself out walking to your camping spot with all your gear, whereas Anathafest provides all the amenities on-site for you.

Do you sell alcohol?

SURPRISE – Yes, this year you’ll find a bar on-site with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.

What happens in case of rain?

We play in the rain, plain and simple. Note that there are covered spaces where you can take shelter if needed.

Are animals permitted on-site?

Yes! We do accept animals on-site. We kindly ask of you to look out for them and clean up after them to respect other participants.

What is the washroom situation?

You’ll find several washrooms across the site, including accessible options.

They are cleaned daily to ensure your comfort throughout the festival.

Can I use a camping stove or BBQ?

Camping stoves and BBQs are not allowed, as per the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority regulations — unless it's a licensed caterer with proper insurance using professional equipment.

Can we make individual campfires on site?

No individual fires are allowed, but don’t worry — we’ve got you covered.

We’ll be keeping the vibes warm and magical with collective campfires, tended by our team.

It’s the perfect space to gather, share stories, play music, and simply connect.

🔥 Because warmth feels better when it’s shared.

What food will be available?

Several food trucks will be on-site to satisfy all cravings, including:

  • Mexican food by Pablo
  • Vegan, organic, local & exotic meals by Rose
  • Tea bar & desserts
    On vient avec un.e tout-petit.e — y a-t-il des zones calmes ?

We’re coming with a toddler — are there quiet camping spots? What time does the music stop?

Absolutely. We’ve pre-identified calm zones away from the main music areas, perfect for families and light sleepers.

Most music ends around midnight, and we’ve structured the site to respect everyone’s rest needs.
