REGISTRATION + scholarships

Flash Foxy Trad Fest • NORTH CONWAY • Sept 27-29, 2024

*This event is rain or shine. No refunds. Festival schedule and programming are always subject to change.

COST

We strongly believe in keeping the festival affordable so that folks of all situations who love climbing can attend which is why we have a “pay more if you are willing and able” model. 

The standard registration cost for the weekend is $165 - but we have also created options for lower cost and higher cost tickets ranging from $100-$250. If you feel that you can afford the higher price and would like to help offset the costs for other participants, please select a $200 or $250 Festival Pass. We have a limited number of $100 Festival Passes available. Lower cost festival passes will go on sale June 15. There are also full scholarships available (see below) and opportunities to volunteer (click here for details).

$5 from each ticket sale will be donated to a local Indigenous-led organization.

  • • It can be hard to pay rent and cover other basic necessities > Apply for a scholarship!

    • I can pay for basic necessities, but I do not have extra income for things like a climbing gym membership > Apply for a scholarship! Didn’t get it? Buy a $100 Festival Pass (lower cost).

    • I can pay for basic necessities and some luxury items like a climbing gym membership. I am able to afford or save up for occasional weekend trips and the costs associated with that (rental car, park fees, owning gear, etc) > Buy a $165 Festival Pass (standard cost)

    • I can afford regular weekend trips and the costs associated with that (rental car, park fees, owning gear, etc) > Buy a $200 Festival Pass (pay it forward)

    • I am financially comfortable and able to help support scholarships for future course participants > Buy a $250 Festival Pass (pay it forward x2!!)

    *Please also consider that income is not the same as wealth. Income is the amount of money you make. Wealth is passed down from generation to generation and usually takes the form of inheritances, land ownership, and/or earning power. We ask that you take into account not only your income but also your wealth when choosing your price point within our sliding scale.
