How to Festival
With our low ticket prices and lots of free programming, there is no better place in Canada to gain such easy access to a high volume of curated projects than SummerWorks. If you’re new to the Festival, here’s a handy guide to enjoying the SummerWorks experience.
HOW THIS WORKS
Figure out what you want to see
SummerWorks houses a vast array of work. We have four programming streams; SummerWorks Presentations, SummerWorks Lab, SummerWorks Exchange and Public Works.

Single tickets can be purchased at door (at the venue) or in advance (online and phone). If you’ve booked your tickets in advance, you’ll receive an email confirmation. This is just your proof of purchase - you will need to exchange this for a ticket at the Venue Box office to receive your ticket before the show.
Reserve Tickets HerePAY WHAT YOU DECIDE
SummerWorks has always been committed to affordable ticket prices as a way of ensuring access and allowing our audiences to experience multiple shows during the Festival. That’s why we use a Pay What You Decide ticket option for every ticketed performance in the Festival.
What does this mean? Our ticket prices range from $15, $25 to $35 – you pick whichever suits your budget. All tickets are general admission, and there are no limits on any price level.
Why would you do this? Because even at $35 you are getting more than your money’s worth. This is also a way for people to increase their support for Festival artists while ensuring financial accessibility for those who need it.
FREE EVENTS
In addition to ticketed performances, a majority of our programming is FREE. Look out for the FREE label on project and event pages for more details.
