Are you a FULL-TIME student?
You are eligible for the Sainte-Adèle resident rate.
No matter your age, this rate is for you IF you’re studying full-time (at least 30 hours/week)! Make sure to bring proof, such as a student ID or a school enrollment certificate, to pick up your pass at the ticket booth.
As Festival FOCUS has moved to Sainte-Adèle, the resident rate is no longer available to Saint-Adolphe-d’Howard residents.
Since the FOCUS Festival has moved to Sainte-Adèle, a resident rate of $72 + taxes and fees is available for Sainte-Adèle residents on 3-day passes, while supplies last.
Please note: single-day tickets are not eligible for the resident rate.
IMPORTANT: This offer is not available at all times. When it will be not available, the regular price will apply to everyone.
The FOCUS Festival is an independent music festival. We encourage you to buy your passes early to get the best rates. In fact, the earlier you buy your tickets, the more you help the Festival, as many expenses are payable in advance to run a festival.
The FOCUS Festival strives every year to offer free access to its activities, so the market is free to access along with some of the other activities available on the market, such as shows, games, conferences… The aim is to offer a space for meeting and sharing, even in the most difficult of times. If you want to encourage us to continue this approach, don’t hesitate to buy a ticket for a paying show, if you can, and in any case come and support the merchants on site and the festival with the bar, the merchandising area…
The FOCUS Festival is a family festival: your children are welcome, but under your supervision. Every year we create new games, sets… so that even the youngest can experience their first festival. We do our best to offer adapted activities whenever we can.
ATTENTION, please remember to bring ear protection and/or a blanket for the evenings, so your children can rest on the blanket without getting cold. HOWEVER, we do offer free earmuffs in exchange for ID at the ticket office, but quantities are limited.
The FOCUS Festival is a family-friendly event, but above all, it features amplified music. As such, for the comfort of all, including our animal friends, pets are not allowed. Noise and crowds can be stressful factors for our pets.
HOWEVER, if the animals are trained assistance dogs (documentation required : medical certificate and Training certificate), they will be allowed, but remain the responsibility of their human companion.
This year, the FOCUS Festival offers you the possibility of camping on the festival site WITH MANDATORY RESERVATION.
Camping is free and only available to FOCUS ticket holders, but limited to a maximum of one 5-person tent per site. Only small RVs are allowed! No tent trailers!
Full rules and regulations are available at https://focusfest.ca/en/camping-3

For tickets purchased after May 30, 2025), you can either write directly to Sandrine at market@focusfest.ca (check your spam folder just in case!) or reserve your pitch through the ticketing system.
If the camping section is no longer available… that means it’s full!
ATTENTION, camping is made possible thanks to the agreement of the town of Sainte-Adèle and Ski Chantecler. Please respect the instructions and the location!
ATTENTION, available sites are limited. Reservations are first come, first served.
There are plenty of hotels, inns and other facilities in the area.
Ticket purchase is a final sale, no refunds are available. However, our ticketing partner offers the option of requesting a refund directly from them via a paid option.
WARNING, there are fraudsters offering tickets for sale in comments on social networks. If you have any doubts, write to us and report the comment.

To be on the safe side, always buy your tickets directly from our website. If you buy a ticket from another person, we cannot guarantee you access to the festival in the event of fraud or activation of the ticket by another person prior to your arrival, and the FOCUS Festival cannot be held responsible for attempted fraud or fraudulent ticket purchases..
