DAY VISITOR

On foot

Living close to the festival? Awesome! Pedestrians can get to the festival via the walking routes to both entrances:  

  • Entrance RED: via Kelchterhoefstraat 
  • Entrance BLUE: via Klein Hoevestraatje 
By bicycle

A smart choice! We provide 2 secured and free of charge bicycle parkings, one at each entrance.   

  • Bicycle parking RED can be reached along Hoeve Jan via Kelchterhoefstraat (Google Maps)  
  • Bicycle parking BLUE is located on the grass field at the beginning of Klein Hoevestraatje (Google Maps)  

It’s not possible to charge your electric bicycle. Please be careful when riding your bike after the festival and make sure you’re clearly visible in the dark.

The most convenient way to travel to Extrema from your city! Just hop on and get driven straight to the entrance. After the festival, the bus drives you home safely. Carefree and sustainable!

Ridesharing (in cooporation with Slinger)

Do you have one or more spare places in your car, or are you looking for a ride? Slinger is a tool that matches 'ride sharers’ and ‘ride searchers’ with each other, to carpool together to Extrema.  
Sharing a ride becomes part of the event! Share in the fun before and after the event – while at the same time reducing CO2 emissions and sharing fuel and parking costs wherever possible. Book or offer your ride through the widget in the corner of this page, or via this link

By car

We have car parkings for day visitors near both entrance RED and entrance BLUE.  
While both parkings RED and BLUE are for day visitors, RED is also the parking for camping, resort and VIP visitors.  

To navigate to the parkings, please follow the road signs and the provided information on your ticket and in your ticketmail. We will guide you to RED or BLUE based on where you come from.  

Reserve your spot and purchase your day or weekend parking ticket through our ticket shop now, and save € 5 on the price. We strongly recommend downloading your parking ticket in advance as internet connection is known to be weak around the festival area. 

Driving to the festival? Make sure you’re completely alcohol- and drug-free behind the wheel - it’s the only way to keep yourself and everyone else safe on the road. Read more on Groot Gelijk dat je drugsvrij rijdt
 
It is forbidden to sleep in your vehicle on the parking lots, and campers and mobile homes are not allowed.
