4. Code of Conduct

We are building a festival grounded in African and Caribbean culture, and every attendee has the right to feel respected and safe. Harassment, discrimination, violence, or any behaviour that undermines that will result in immediate ejection without refund and may be reported to authorities.

If the event cannot be rescheduled within a reasonable period, refunds may be issued at Foodville’s discretion and subject to any non-refundable costs incurred.
