Hai in den Mai

The online presale has ended. But there are still enough tickets at the box office. All tickets purchased in the last two years remain valid, of course.

According to the latest government decisions there will be neither COVID vaccination or test controls at the festival. It looks like these requirements will be dropped completely for the festival. Nevertheless we ask you to stay responsible, to test yourself and if you are sick to stay at home. The rules can theoretically change at short notice, we will implement the current legal requirements.

Travel:

For all rail travelers, there are free shuttle buses from the nearby train stations “Lemförde” and “Rahden”! Check the schedule here. The departure times are not exact to the minute, all buses wait for the trains at the respective station. For example, if your train arrives at 8:10, but the shuttle bus leaves at 8:00 according to the timetable, the bus will wait for you, don’t worry!

To minimize the car traffic on the festival grounds we have to take 10 € road toll for every vehicle driving over the area.

No tent? No problem! You can reserve camping equipment or ready-built tents in advance from Utopia Camping.

Minors
You can only enter the festival if you are over 18 years of age with a valid identity card or passport. Juvenile minors are not allowed on the festival, unless they they are with their parents. Unfortunately we can not provide family camping so we do not recommend you to bring your children!

Awareness
In Waldfrieden there is no place for racism, sexism, homophobia or any discriminatory behaviour and hateful ideology. This of course also means that nazis are not welcome here. Look out for each other. Those who do not respect these rules are kicked out, for example men who harass women.

Photographs
To have enough room for dirty, tired and happy faces on the festival that will not appear on the internet please do not to take pictures of others without permission. There will be professional photographers taking pictures that will be uploaded here. If you appear on a picture against your will let us know and we will remove it.
Apart from the fact that other people may not want to be filmed or photographed by you, you don’t do yourself a favor if you want to capture everything on camera. The festival is a good time to put your smartphone aside and take a vacation from the digital world. Keep the good memories in your heart – not on a chip!

Ecology
It is our desire to limit the damage to nature as much as possible. Therefor all of our electricity is supplied by renewable energy sources and we ask the food shops to sell organic food only.
Please help us to also keep the direct environment of the Waldfrieden clean by using garbage bags and pocket ashtrays. Also please use the toilets instead of going in the forest or elsewhere for that purpose.

Dogs
Dogs are not allowed on the area. Unfortunately we can not allow you to bring your dogs due to spatial conditions of the nature reserve and the animals that live here.

Laser pointers, Graffiti & Confetti
Laser pointers must not be taken with you because of the high risk of injury. Graffiti, markers and confetti may not be brought to any of our events! It is simply too much work to get rid of the garbage and paintings. Confetti also causes unnecessary environmental pollution. If you are interested in participating as graffiti artist you are welcome to apply and contact us. However, it is not permitted to bring spray cans and markers with you without permission!
