Before you go

Worth knowing.

Classes are separate

The class day on April 29, 2027 and individual classes during the festival are ticketed separately from festival admission. Class tickets usually go on sale before the festival itself.

Plan for more than one day

Most people who come for a single day tell us afterwards they wished they had booked two. The floor and the class programme both run all three days.

Getting here

The venue is minutes from O'Hare with direct Blue Line service. See venue, directions and parking.
