The FULL PASS price includes a Yaga 2026 membership fee. The annual membership fee is part of Yaga’s funding. Yaga is more than just an entertainment event – it is a cultural phenomenon. A large part of the event’s budget is used to implement various artistic expressions and cultural activities at the festival. The principle of membership and ticket funding helps to optimize costs and implement more diverse projects without taking into account their commercial benefits.
