2025 Participants Information

[ppwp passwords= “TradTime”]

Dear 2025 Acadia Trad Participants,

We are so excited to welcome you to the Festival in person!  Until then, this handy page has a lot of things all in one place, because we know emails and attachments are hard to find after a while!

• Please be sure to check back here occasionally, as we will add information as it becomes available, especially the weeks right before the Festival.
• We recommend you please take time to review it all, however, anything that is extra important for you to know before arriving on campus is marked ***.
• All of the documents are available for download and printing.

Happy reading, planning, and getting excited!

Your AFTMD Directors –
Heather, April, Mari & Kieran
