Edmonton’s celebration of art in unexpected places is kicking off its 15th year of theatre, music, poetry, and more throughout our city with a bang. We care deeply about accessible, engaging stories told by artists here at home and across Canada. Your contribution helps us keep our Festival ticketing Offer-What-You-Will allowing for low- and no-cost access to our work across the Festival!

👀 Some fun (well, we think they're fun) facts about our 2025 Festival:

1️⃣ We shared art with over 1,800 Edmontonians in five days.

2️⃣ We offered more performances with access initiatives than ever in our Festival history.

3️⃣ We broke our record for the most tickets folks have booked for Festival shows (and we've broken that record every year for four years!)

4️⃣ Thanks to our Offer What You Will program, we've continued to prevent cost from being a barrier to joining Found Festival. Our average price offered per ticket (after fees & taxes) was $10.48. 📢 This is the lowest our average ticket cost has been since 2020. 📢

5️⃣ Put another way, we saw our audience grow by 10% this year, but our box office earnings grew by under 1%.

These are all celebrations for us. We work every year to get closer to a barrier-free Found Festival, but investments in access, ticket cost reduction, and artist supports don't come cheap. We rely on donations, memberships, and our Festival 50/50 to sustain our accessibility & outreach initiatives.

⭐ If you want to help us ensure our Offer What You Will and accessibility initiatives can continue to grow and welcome Edmontonians, please consider buying a ticket to our Festival 50/50! ⭐ 

Funds raised by this 50/50 will go towards the growth of Found Festival, including artistic fees and production expenses for the production of this year’s Festival and development of Found Festival 2027.

The winner will be contacted directly by Found Festival to claim your prize.

Thanks for supporting Found!
