Lyrids 2023 Fees
Fees for the full weekend are $270. Full Weekend Registration includes everything: all workshops, Saturday lunch, Saturday dinner, Sunday lunch, plenty of snacks, and all the dancing!
Part-time registrations will be accepted but to encourage full participation, priority will be given to full weekend registrations, and an early-bird discount for the full weekend ($250) is offered until March 1.
Want to volunteer? Please contact us.
Need a scholarship? please contact us.
Everyone will be expected to help where needed – for example, moving tables before and after meals.

Cancellation and Refund Policy
Our cancellation and refund policy has been designed to ensure that the Lyrids festival is sustainable into the future while being sensitive to each individual’s reason for withdrawing his or her registration.
For cancellations one week or earlier than the start of festival: Full refund.
For cancellations within one week of the start of the festival:
- For the reason of having COVID or other transmissible disease: Full refund.
- You are encouraged to find someone to come in your place, or
- With the exception of any funds already spent specifically for you ($75 for all the meals), refunds will be granted.

Note:
The festival is run by volunteers, and budgeted on a “break even” basis. The more lenient policy for COVID (and other illnesses) cancellations is meant to keep everyone safe. We know that the folk dance community understands the risks of putting on a festival and will honour our needs as best they can.
