After approval

What an approved festival receives.

One account opens four working parts. Each part is shared infrastructure, so every improvement reaches every festival on the platform.

  1. 01

    Website

    A festival site on its own address: program, location, and application forms for vendors, performers, volunteers and sponsors.

    Available in preview
  2. 02

    Festival OS

    One workspace for applications, owners, tasks, documents, event-day check-in and funding.

    Available in preview
  3. 03

    Playbooks

    Step-by-step guides for sponsor outreach, vendor intake, volunteer shifts and event day, each ending in a concrete action.

  4. 04

    Mentors

    A person to call when a decision is hard: permits, budget, sponsors, program, the week before the festival.

    In development
Mentoring

Hard questions go to people who have answered them.

The organizers who built UAFest Lanark County share what worked for them: how to plan the season, find sponsors, run volunteers and get through event day.

  1. 01

    Describe the situation

    Topic, days left until the festival and the question in your own words.

  2. 02

    Get matched

    The request goes to an organizer who has handled the same kind of problem.

  3. 03

    Leave with a next step

    A call, a written answer or a playbook that turns the advice into tasks in Festival OS.

Built at UAFest Lanark County

The platform started as the tools of one real festival.

UAFest.com grew out of the website, CRM and checklists the Lanark County team used to run its own festival in Ontario, Canada. The facts below are published on uafest.ca.
