Tickets in-person and live-streaming tickets are available here: https://givebutter.com/play-in-a-day-festival-2026-8wnunp

All tickets are pay-what-you-want, and while we do not want cost to be a barrier for anyone to join in the celebration, this is also our annual fundraiser - so do with that info what you will ;)

Please note that while our roster is currently full, we will keep a waitlist open up to the day of the festival and, historically, have been able to accommodate most of the waitlist as schedules shift. You can join the waitlist here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe7WFJ2qeuGGQ9N7qAn476I32hlFmM0AB6X5cYG6eCyQHmjtg/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=101584849497429052789
