While all events are free, we request that you make a $10 donation if you can comfortably afford it (or more, if you like!). Arts organizations and festivals across Canada are currently struggling financially. Our funding has decreased by 20% since 2023, while inflation has driven costs significantly higher.

Registration is required for the workshops, ravine walks, and labyrinth walk because capacity is limited for these events. You can navigate to the registration pages through the festival schedule page.

For all other events, registration is optional, but it greatly helps us gauge attendee numbers. Registration can be found in the event on our Events & Workshops page.

For events held in public parks, please follow all park regulations, including keeping pets on a leash. We do not recommend bringing dogs to the Twilight Lantern Procession or Streamside Lanterns. These events can be crowded, with people in costumes and unusual sounds and lights, which may be overwhelming or stressful for animals.

Artist and performer recruitment happens during the spring and summer.

Many of our Moon Festival events take place from the afternoon to evening, with use of candlelight and artificial lighting to illuminate the darkness.

However, we are aware that this can still provide a dimly lit experience for visitors with low vision, and at times, we require dim lighting for our performances. Many of our Moon Festival performances feature an audio element as well, so we invite you to enjoy the sounds.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and are planning to include disability grants into our budget in the future. We invite you to enjoy the sights and experiences of the Moon Festival in your own unique way, and to use any communication aid (ie, writing on paper or phone) with our volunteers.

We will be using speakers and amps to ensure our performances are heard clearly outdoors.

If you are sensitive to volume, please feel free to bring ear protection and enjoy the performances from a distance that is comfortable for you. Please email us at moonfest@stillmoonarts.ca if you require assistance.

All events and workshops will be in English only. Some events will have volunteers present who speak additional language; these volunteers will be identifiable by a special name tag, or you can request translation assistance at the information table at the Harvest Fair or Streamside Lanterns events.

We’ve partnered up with each vendor to provide an ingredient list for those with allergies, which will be available to view or inquire about in person.

We prioritize making the festival accessible to everyone.

Our festival occurs outdoors in the natural beauty of the Renfrew Ravine and the surrounding area. Certain site locations may have uneven or narrow walkways or steeper slopes. There will be some seating available for most events, and there are also several benches at each park.

Please be advised that the scope of accessibility may change in the case of extreme weather.

More information about mobility is provided in the venue information section below. 

The Colour Me Local Dye Garden is an unpaved grass garden located in the northwest corner of Renfrew Ravine Park, and wheelchairs may require assistance.

Washrooms are not available onsite, but can be found at the Renfrew Community Centre located 5 minutes away (~350 metres). There are benches available.

The Renfrew Community Park has a combination of sloped and flat paths that may be difficult to traverse in the rain. If you have any concerns or questions about accessibility, please email moonfest@stillmoonarts.ca.

The Renfrew Community Park has a wheelchair accessible dirt path leading down to the forested ravine area where Streamside Lanterns event takes place. Access the whelchair accessible path from the parking lot on the west side of the park. The width of the ramp is 3.8 feet wide.

Use of Renfrew Community Centre washrooms requires stairs, unless assisted by a volunteer; otherwise, wheelchair users will need to exit the park using the west side ramp, use the sidewalk to travel around the block to the south side of the park, and then use the cement wheelchair ramp to enter the community centre. The doors to the Community Centre accessed from the south side open automatically.

There are benches located within the park.

There is no direct pathway to the Renfrew Ravine Labyrinth and wheelchairs may require assistance.

The labyrinth path is narrow and lined with a stone path that may be difficult for those with mobility concerns to traverse.

We invite you to enjoy the birds, trees, and the sound of flowing water coming from the bottom of the ravine.

Washrooms are not available onsite but can be found at the Renfrew Community Centre, located 10 minutes away (~1 kilometre). Seating is limited.
