About

LIMITED POD PASSES* NOW ON SALE!
 
All festival-goers must be pre-registered and pre-paid before attending.

*Please note the difference between CAR and SUV passes at check-out!

In 2020 only, admission to the Whoop & Hollar Folk Festival will be by donation, with an automatic fee of $10 per vehicle per night.

​A limited number of "pod passes" to secure your vehicle's spot will be available ONLINE (on a first-come, first-served basis) beginning at 12:00 noon CDT on Saturday, August 8th, 2020.

​ALL occupants of each vehicle (or, "pod") are required to register in a group and secure their pod passes in advance when festival passes become available ONLINE on Saturday, August 8th (one transaction per group). NO WALK-UPS (i.e. drive-ups) on the days of the event!

During online registration, all festival attendees will be required to provide their name, phone number, and e-mail address for COVID-19 contact tracing purposes. All personal information will be kept confidential (except when required by Manitoba Health officials) and stored for 21 days before being deleted.

To help keep Manitoba COVID-19 cases low, NO attendees from outside Manitoba are encouraged to attend the festival (nobody from the USA or Ontario east of Terrace Bay will be permitted on the grounds).

At the gate, all occupants of each vehicle will be checked-in using a mobile device or printed ticket and briefly screened for COVID-19 symptoms, travel outside the province within the last 14 days, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 within the last 14 days.

A waitlist will be set-up should pod passes sell out and a spot later becomes available. Therefore, refunds are permitted with enough advance notice.

Each "pod" constitutes a 20' x 20' space for one vehicle and a small open area to the left of that vehicle to stand or sit on

All occupants of each pod/vehicle (max. 6 people) must stay in their pod at all times—unless to use the restroom—and cannot intermingle with people in other pods.

All members of each pod must be from the same household or same common 'bubble' or social network.

No pod, no admittance. If pod passes sell out, you may park outside the venue to hear the music but donations to the festival are still encouraged to support live music and art in Manitoba. 

People socializing in-person together are advised to physically distance themselves from members outside of their household, except for brief necessary exchanges. Traditional greetings such as handshakes, kissing and hugging should be avoided. As has always been the case, members of the same household do not need to physically distance from each other.

Vehicle windows and sunroofs may be open; doors and trunks should remain closed if possible.

Picnics are only permitted within each pod. You can bring your own snacks, food, water, and non-alcoholic beverages to share among members of your pod (no food vendors on site)!

Decorating your pod and/or vehicle is encouraged for festival spirit!
