Generosity makes the extraordinary possible.

No. You don’t need to make any payment to save your spot. Your registration and your experience at the festival are never conditional on making a contribution. Giving is entirely voluntary. Some people may not be able to contribute financially, but give their time and energy as volunteers. Others may be able to contribute enough to help cover the cost for several attendees, making the festival more accessible to people who cannot contribute financially.

Because many people and organizations have contributed their time, knowledge, resources and support to make a festival open to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances. FOC is a social and economic experiment in generosity and gratitude, built collectively by everyone who takes part. Its very existence shows that another kind of economy is possible, and that money is not the only way to measure the value of something.

You are free to choose how much to contribute, including choosing not to give money. When you complete your registration, you will have the option to make a voluntary contribution. You’ll see a few suggested amounts, but you can choose one or enter your own.

We divide the festival’s actual production costs by the expected number of attendees. This gives you a sense of the collective effort that makes FOC possible. It’s a suggested contribution, not a required fee.

Yes. You can contribute before, during or after the festival. Once the festival is over, we will email you a link in case you would like to make a contribution.

FOC Mexico 2027 is made possible by the generosity of hundreds of people who share their time, knowledge, resources and energy. Your contribution will help others experience FOC too, and help the project continue.

Because no payment is required to save your spot, we will ask you to confirm your attendance in mid-December and download your ticket with its QR code. This allows us to offer available spots to others if someone is no longer able to attend. We will email you with instructions.

Each person needs to complete their own registration. The only exception is for children under 16 who are coming with you. You can register them using your email address and their name. Be sure to save your own spot, too.

Please let us know so we can make your spot available to someone else. You can cancel your registration by emailing [email protected].
