As part of JAYU’s commitment to accessibility, we offer tiered ticketing to every event to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to enjoy the festival.

Prices vary depending on the specific event, but the tiers listed on each event are the following:

Regular: Supports community access to arts programming and mentorship.

Student/seniors/arts workers: Helps bring new artists to future festivals.

Geared to Income: Builds welcoming spaces for everyone to share their stories.

Free: Increases empathy for human rights issues around the world.

Great question! If you planned on going to an event and can no longer attend, please contact us at info@jayu.ca to donate the value of your ticket to JAYU's year-round programming supporting arts and human rights, or, to process a refund.

Before each event you’ll receive an email with instructions for attending. Can’t find the email in your inbox/spam/promotions folders? Shoot us an email at info@jayu.ca and we’ll make sure you get it on time!

Each year, we strive to make the festival as accessible as we can - this includes:

• Hybrid events so attendees can participate in-person and virtually

• Open captioning for our film screenings and ASL interpretation for all events

• Active listeners are available throughout the festival to provide mental health resources and hold space, in case of triggering content

• Financial accessibility is important to us, which is why we offer tiered pricing

Please refer to your event email for more information about accessibility at the festival.

In so many ways! If you are able to, making a donation is the best way to make a direct impact in our community! You can also stop by our shop and show off your JAYU pride with some merch. Or sign up for our regular e-newsletter to learn more about our events. Of course, don’t forget to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Tik Tok, and Instagram.
