Week two (August 13 – 19) brings even more excitement with an additional set of pavilions. Dance to the beats of the Caribbean, indulge in Belgian treats, discover the traditions of First Nations, and admire the elegance of Japanese arts. The variety of pavilions caters to a wide range of interests and promises an eye-opening experience for everyone.
While all pavilions are primarily hosted indoors, some have enticing outdoor activities, food, and beverages for you to enjoy. Keep an eye out for the sun icon in the Folklorama Travel Guide to spot these outdoor gems.
General admission tickets are priced at $7.50 per person, with free entry for children under 12 when accompanied by a paying adult (up to five children per adult). To guarantee your spot in the pavilion of your choice, Folklorama recommends booking tickets in advance online. However, tickets are also available at the door.

With prices ranging from $41.95 to $76.95 (GST included), these tours offer access to two or three pavilions per tour, allowing you to bypass line-ups, enjoy reserved seating, and savor a progressive meal.
