You can find all festival information by clicking the flyer:



Or for those of you just quickly looking for the address, this is it:

Rue du Bonalfa
Vielsalm - Belgium

The festival grounds are at the end of the street (it's a dead end street).

It is also just a 2 km walk from the train station of 'Vielsalm', so it is very easy to come by train. It is close to the center of Vielsalm, but still secluded in the most beautiful nature part of Belgium!

There will be small fluo arrows all over Vielsalm telling you the way. From the train station you can probably also just follow the other people :)
