Cards & Cash

Lost Skills Gathering staff will accept cards for entrance fees and festival merchandise. Cash is strongly recommended for teacher donations, some vendors, food, handmade goods, and small purchases throughout the grounds.

A Note About Teacher Donations

Your ticket helps support the festival itself. Many teachers will also have suggested donations at their teaching spaces to help honor their time, materials, and living knowledge. Please bring cash so you can thank teachers directly when you attend classes, demonstrations, or hands-on offerings.

Admission is for the complete Lost Skills Gathering experience and does not guarantee the appearance of any specific teacher, demonstration, class, or skill.
