Please note that Prasadam will only be provided starting from Friday dinner as part of your registration fees.
Check-in is on Friday, May 23 at 3 PM and check-out is on Monday, May 26 at 11 AM.
No, you need to register to get access to the kirtans. It costs us to invite the kirtaniyas, their accommodation, setup the stage, decorate the kirtan hall, arrange the sound system, prasadam, etc, so you would need to pay to attend the kirtans as well.
Yes, it is important that you register your daughter as well, even though you are not paying for her. The reason is hotels have a policy to limit the number of people in a room, regardless of their age. By knowing the total number of people in a group, we will be able to allocate a room accordingly.
You are charged only for people who are 6 years or more. You will need to accommodate your kids (5 years and younger) in any room option that you have chosen.
