In the event of major problems, the crowd assistants are also helped by members of the festival security.

    There is no children's corner at the festival, where you can leave your child under supervision.

    But we have prepared many attractions for children where they can romp to their heart's content. Several attractions, a cultural program, pedal cars, inflatables and other attractions are available.

    Parents are fully responsible for their children. There will be vehicles with a total value of 50 million euros in the area.

  • Drugs and alcohol

    Drugs

    Drugs are prohibited at the festival. Their sale and consumption are illegal and we point out that the situation will be monitored by the police on the spot.

    If there are possible problems related to drug use in your area or in your surroundings, do not be afraid to contact the health service, the doctors at the ambulance stations or the organizers in order to preserve your health. Place the victim in a stabilized position until the rescuers arrive so that suffocation cannot occur.

    Injecting drug users should remember that festivals are not perfectly hygienic. Think of others and protect them from your used gadgets. Avoid throwing needles into separate waste bins (it is manually sorted). Dispose of them e.g. by throwing into a plastic bottle/can, plugging, or by stepping on it and throwing it in the trash.

    Alcohol

    Alcohol will be available at the festival in sufficient quantities. But keep in mind that the sun shines all day at the festival and three days is enough time to enjoy it.

    Bringing alcohol to the festival is strictly prohibited.

    The festival offers a very varied program, it is a place where strong emotions arise. We spend half a year preparing the best event of the year for you. I am sure that you will be able to appreciate it and enjoy it without unnecessary problems.

  • Parking

    Parking

    The parking lot is located on the concrete runway and the surrounding grassy areas in the area of 800 x 170 m, i.e. j. on an area of 136,000 m2, with a capacity of 8,000 cars.

    The organizing service is in charge of organizing the parking lot. We ask you to respect its instructions, which serve to ensure the smooth operation of parking.

    Parking spaces are charged €10

    You can buy a parking ticket in the ticket section.

    Vstup na parkovisko je cez GATE P "parking" – nachádza na konci letiska od obce Opatovce.

    Od otvorenia v piatok od 8.00 hod.a parkovisko je otvorené nonstop do nedele 20.00 hod., posledný vstup je umožnený v nedeľu o 06.00 hod., opustenie parkoviska je možné do 20.00 hod., kedy sa parkovisko zatvára.

    Only cars and motorbikes with a valid ticket can enter the parking lot. This will be exchanged for a sticker on which the driver writes down the vehicle registration number and his phone number in case of necessary contact. With the sticker, repeated entry and exit is possible at any time according to the times mentioned above.

    We ask drivers to be considerate and to park in such a way that as many cars as possible fit comfortably in the parking lot.

    Camping in the parking lot is prohibited. The tents erected in the parking lot will be transferred with the equipment to the Camp manager's center in the tent camp behind GATE O.

    Parents with children up to 6 years of age (inclusive), pregnant women and visitors with limited mobility will be admitted to the parking lot by the parking service after purchasing a parking fee for any sector and showing the appropriate document (pregnancy book, in the case of children, e.g. health insurance card) P0, which is located right next to the gate to the festival area.

    Motorcycles have a reserved parking sector behind parking lot P0.

    Parking will not be possible at this time. If there is a lot of interest, we will also reserve a zone for caravans.

  • Garbage

    Garbage

    Carat festival tries to produce as little waste as possible. Thanks to active visitors and volunteers, we turn the resulting waste into secondary raw materials, or we carefully separate it and try to process it ecologically.

    A unique solution is the establishment of collection points, where trained workers, with the help of visitors, thoroughly separate plastics, paper and bio-waste. The collection points work non-stop, they also work as educational centers, where you will learn how to properly separate and what the cycle of individual materials is.

    In addition to the collection points, more than 100 containers for waste are placed in the festival area, always in such a way that they allow at least basic separation. All containers are marked with distinctive inscriptions.

    Festival nepoužíva žiadne jednorazové plasty okrem PET fliaš. Zálohované PET fľaše si môžete zobrať domov a následne zameniť v obchode, alebo ich môžete odovzdať v separačných stanovištiach. Celý výťažok z vrátených fliaš pôjde do nadácie Jozefa Knoppa. Darovaním zálohovanej fľaše alebo plechovky tak prispejete na pomoc všetkým motoristom ktorý to potrebujú.

    All dishes, cutlery and straws are compostable. Bio-waste from gastro stands, together with dishes, cutlery and straws, can be thrown into containers marked BIO after use. The festival also separates oil and glass waste generated in the background of the gastro sectors.

    In the tent city, "each tent" gets its own bag for municipal waste. There are stations in the campsites where visitors can put down the filled bags, or please close them and leave them in place when leaving.

    The amount of waste has been significantly reduced since we introduced deposit cups at festivals (the deposit per cup is €2). Used glasses can be exchanged for the same ones when buying another drink or handed over to designated collection points. Glasses are cleaned outside the festival area in a special line. Already two uses of a returnable cup are more ecological than disposable plastic cups.

  • Dogs

    Dogs

    Dogs are prohibited from entering the festival grounds.

    Although we are dog lovers. Headed by the owner Jozef Knopp, the area for dogs is waterless. Too much noise, too many people. This will only harm your four-legged pet.

    I hope you understand and enjoy the festival even without the dogs.

  • Taxi

    Taxi

    Car At Festival cooperates with the ZOBERMA.SK application through which you can simply and easily order a taxi to bring you to the festival. They are marked with a "Car At Festival TAXI" sticker.
