Cancellation Policy

A 50% deposit will be due upon registration. A refund of this deposit, minus $100.00, is refundable by request (here) prior to May 15, 2025.

Balances are due on May 15, 2025.  There are no refunds after May 15, 2025 for any reason, unless a medical contingency of the registrant will prevent the registrant from attending camp, for which a letter from a medical practitioner or proof of a positive COVID antigen test (from a pharmacy or clinic, not a self or at home test) are required.

In the event of a medical contingency (either before or after May 15, 2025), once adequate proof is provided, a full refund, minus $100.00, will be processed as soon as possible.

Registrations (prior to Registration closing date) are transferable to friends or family members after discussing it with the Festival Director.

Changes to Registrations (meal plans, lobsters, room type) cannot not be guaranteed at any time, and are not permitted once Registration closes.

COVID-19 Policy

Following the expiration of the COVID-19 Pandemic Public Health Emergency in 2023, College of the Atlantic fully rescinded its COVID-19 protocol. As such, Acadia Trad Festival will no longer require staff, faculty, or participants to submit proof of vaccination in order to attend the Festival. However, Acadia Trad Festival strongly encourages all staff, faculty and participants to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 for the health and safety of all attendees. Furthermore, all staff, faculty and participants should familiarize themselves with the Festival’s internal protocol for what to do in the event of a positive case and must have a plan in place to leave campus if they show symptoms or test positive for COVID-19. You can read our protocols for a positive case of COVID-19 here.

The Acadia Festival of Traditional Music & Dance is governed by Friends of the Acadia Trad Festival, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) Maine nonprofit corporation. Website art by Anabelle Keimach and Annelise Papinsick.
