If you've heard about the festival, you’ve probably already been captivated by the magic of art glass and have your eye on the VIP or General Admission tickets. The Visitor Pass is meant for people in the local community — or anyone — who might be interested in just seeing what art glass is all about. The free Visitor Pass allows people to join in the fun, see demos, visit the Maker’s Market, and even get a chance to shop for glass during the last two hours of the sale on Saturday and Sunday.

It’s your core pass to the Stay Glassy Fest experience.

For $40, you’ll get:

– A designated shopping time slot to explore our full glass collection

– A limited-edition Stay Glassy Fest t-shirt

– A Stay Glassy Fest logo canvas tote.

– Full access to the on-site festival vibes, community connection, and curated creative moments throughout the day

Affordable, intentional, and designed to get more artists into the flow.

A deeper, behind-the-scenes SGF journey with extra perks and access.

VIPs receive:

– A private tour of our factory in El Florido, Mexico (Thursday)

– An exclusive day of early-access shopping (Friday)

– Premium Stay Glassy Fest VIP merch

– A delicious, authentic Mexican lunch during Tour Thursday

– Round-trip transportation between our HQ and the factory

This is the full Stay Glassy experience—but with very limited availability. A valid passport is required for the factory tour, and space is extremely limited, so early sign-up is key.

You are welcome to stay to enjoy all the fun on Saturday & Sunday — FREE!
