PARKING

In consultation with the neighbourhood and the city council, we have decided to change the parking situation at Elftopia.

BY CAR

The car park for visitors (without a parking ticket for people with disabilities) is at the beginning of Ooidonkdreef and goes through the village.
(This car park is +- 450 metres away from the festival, so not much further than previous years)
This driving direction is exactly the opposite to all previous years.

Please note that there is a changed traffic situation for this event: the site is accessible in one direction from the village where the car parks are located together at the beginning of the Ooidonkdreef.

We would like to strongly warn everyone about parking in the public domain, this is not without consequences.

BAN ON PARKING IN THE AVENUE

Parking along the avenues is prohibited as every year and this is so as not to cause a nuisance.
Cars will be irrevocably towed and fined.
In case all car parks are full, parking should be done safely along the public road (Leernsesteenweg).
You can walk along Ooidonkdreef at all times.

HYDRATE SUFFICIENTLY

You may have to queue in the car for a while before you are allocated a parking space.
Make sure you have enough to drink in the car should it be a hot day.

NO ANIMALS ALLOWED.

Remember at all times that no animals are allowed on the grounds of Elftopia.
Leaving your animals in the car is also prohibited at Elftopia.

BUY YOUR PARKING ONLINE

We recommend all visitors to buy a parking ticket online before the festival.
This will make everything run more smoothly.

Another good tip is to load your parking ticket on your phone or print out your ticket before you leave, this will make for an even smoother parking experience for everyone.
