Festival site address is Dijaška 18, 5220 Tolmin, Slovenia. Click here to see it on Google maps.
We want the Butik Festival to be a lovely experience for everyone, so we encourage attentive, respectful and conscious interactions. Butik festival is supposed to be a place where everybody is welcome and accepted. To read more click here.
Each year, we organize boat experiences with different hosts. The boats are usually announced in late spring.
Butik is an 18+ festival and is not designed for children or infants. The program runs late into the night and includes loud music and an adult-oriented environment. We do not provide any activities, facilities, or designated areas for children.
For safety, comfort, and to preserve the intended festival experience, attendance is restricted to adults only. While the beach area is a semi-public space also used by locals, all official festival areas and activities are strictly 18+.
There is a special part of the campsite dedicated to campervans. The campervan area is separate from the tent area — you can set up a shade in front of your campervan, but you cannot camp together with friends who have tents.
Campervan tickets will go on sale at a later date.
The camping is open from Wednesday 14.07.2027, until Monday, 19.07.2026. Camping from Thursday till Sunday is included in every festival ticket. If you want to arrive already on Wednesday see EARLY ARRIVAL.
You're allowed to bring food and drinks to the campsite but not to the festival area. See PROHIBITED OBJECTS.
Petrol power generators are not allowed in the camping area.
There are cold showers in the camping, for hot showers, see HOT SHOWERS AND FLUSH TOILETS.
There is drinkable tap water in the campsite, see WATER.
Every festival ticket includes access to the festival campsite.
Half of the camping area is located under the trees and half is in a place with no shade. Keep in mind that it can get cold during the night, so bring some warm clothes and a sleeping bag.
Cars are not allowed in the camping area, you can park them in a big parking lot that is located right next to the campsite, see PARKING.
No music is allowed in the campsite after 1 AM, and large sound systems are not allowed at any time. One reason is that we are not permitted to play loud music outdoors after 1 AM. There are houses in the vicinity of the campsite, and we do our best not to disturb local residents — keeping them happy helps us keep this beautiful location, which makes all of us happy too. Another reason is that many festival-goers prefer to party during the day and rest at night. Thank you for respecting this rule.
Butik Festival takes place in one of the world's most stunning locations, so we're committed to keeping it clean. That's why we use a cup deposit system — to protect the natural beauty from plastic waste.
A programme of daytime activities and workshops will be announced closer to the festival.
For those who would like to arrive before the festival officially begins, early arrival at the festival campsite will be possible from Wednesday, July 14, 2027. A separate Early Arrival ticket will be required. More information about the ticket and early arrival arrangements will be announced closer to the festival.
Our festival provides electricity hookups exclusively for campervans.
The number of campervan parking spots with electricity is limited, and they will go on sale at a later date.
Butik Festival, in collaboration with Punk Rock Holiday and Tolminator festivals, takes pride in contributing to our local community through the "Festival Fund" initiative. This is where we donate all unspent money left on paycards after the festival to support various NGOs chosen by our local community.
From 2022 we were able to donate 48.500 €, supporting a diverse array of causes - from rescue dogs, the local football club, breast cancer awareness organization, firefighters, association for helping people with disabilities, to humanitarian organizations for the underprivileged.
When we say "we donated", we're acknowledging that you, the People of Butik, are a vital part of this initiative. Your leftover paycard funds are now actively helping these organizations, so thank you for joining us in this initiative.
Since 2024, our festival has been required to pay a festival tax to the Municipality of Tolmin, which is now included in the ticket price.
A portion of the festival tax is reinvested directly into the festival site, while another part supports local projects and infrastructure in nearby villages, helping to offset some of the festival's impact. We hope this tax will have a positive effect on the local community.
With other community-friendly measures that we implemented — such as establishing a festival fund, providing beach access for locals, and working to reduce noise pollution — we would like to have a positive impact on the environment and remain in Tolmin for many years to come.
We'd like to thank our guests, past and future, who value this unique experience and show respect for nature, locals, and each other. Let's keep Butik here together, forever.
At Butik Festival, you'll find an assortment of food stands, ready to cater to your varying dietary needs. Our food vendors are providing quality meals, including options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets.
Water is essential, especially during the festival. To ensure you stay hydrated, there is drinkable tap water in the campsite as well as at the festival site, where you can refill your bottles.
The garbage deposit system serves as an incentive for festival-goers to properly dispose of their waste by returning full garbage bags to designated drop-off points.
More information will be shared closer to the festival.
Besides cold showers and chemical toilets, the festival also offers a sanitary center with hot showers and flush toilets. Since there is very little permanent infrastructure on-site, we cannot provide this service for all festival-goers. This is why the sanitary center is available at extra cost.
There are lockers available to rent at the festival. More info coming soon.
Parking is located close to the main entrance, a short walk from the camping and festival area. You need a parking ticket to park there.
Parking tickets will be available for purchase at a later date.
At Butik Festival, we utilize a cashless payment system to ensure a seamless and secure festival experience for all.
Dogs and other animals are NOT permitted in the festival or campsite area. Anyone who tries to disobey this rule will be removed from a festival area with revoked access, without any further explanation. Please behave responsibly towards your animal companion and leave them at home (or in any other dog hotel or care, that will provide them with the care they need).
Wheelchair users or other physically handicapped people who rely on support can bring 1 escorting person to the festival area for free. An official medical certificate will be demanded upon your arrival. Please note that due to difficult terrain the beach stages are difficult to approach.
We kindly ask that you leave the following items at home, as they are strictly not allowed on the festival or camping site: objects that could be used as projectiles, knives, weapons, pyrotechnics, or any items that could potentially be used as a weapon. These items will not, under any circumstances, be permitted into the festival area, and any found items will be confiscated. We understand that basic items like cutlery are essential for those camping with us, so you're welcome to use these in the campsite.
Personal generators and large speakers are not allowed in the campsite or festival area.
Please note that nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is prohibited at Butik. Its use disrupts others' enjoyment, and violation of this rule will result in the removal of your wristband and dismissal from the festival.
Every visitor participates in the festival at his own risk. Besides, every visitor is obliged to take action for the guarantee of his own safety. The visitor is also responsible for his property. The promoter, Butik Ent. d.o.o., is not liable for any lost or damaged property whatsoever. The promoter is also not liable for violations of the Slovenian law, thievery, injuries, or damages by third parties that happen in course of the festival.
Please follow the instructions of the security personnel and act responsibly and respectfully so everybody will feel comfortable.
For all your festival essentials, there are a few supermarkets that are just a short distance away from our venue. It's a pleasant 15-minute walk.
Our festival site is probably the most spectacular location in Europe. It takes place in beautiful nature and is impacting the life of the small local community. This is why we want to do everything we can to respect nature and locals. Thank you for your cooperation. To read more about sustainability at Butik click here.
Swimming in the river is allowed, but everyone is doing it at their own risk. For your safety, we provide a professional lifeguard who is stationed at the main festival beach area throughout the festival. However, it's important to note that swimming during the night is strictly prohibited. We kindly ask all attendees to respect and adhere to this rule for everyone's safety.
We have a rent-a-tent option at Butik. It includes a basic camping tent with two self-inflating mattresses — no glamping, bell tents, or mobile homes.
Rent-a-tent availability, package details, pricing and booking for 2027 will be announced closer to the festival.
Tickets for Butik Festival 2027 will be sold through a raffle. Find all information about the raffle and ticket sales here.
We do not offer ticket refunds, however, you can always sell your ticket through our official resale platform. The ticket resale platform will be activated once all 2027 tickets have sold out.
Butik is a festival built with care, not scale. Our capacity is limited to 3,000 people, and we've kept it that way since 2023. We believe in intimacy, comfort, and quality over growth.
Since our first edition, we've evolved from two outdoor stages and two indoor venues into eight unique spaces, each equipped with top-tier sound systems, custom lighting, and dedicated crews. The experience you get today is the result of years of refinement and reinvestment.
Hosting a festival in such a beautiful but remote location also comes with challenges. There's very little permanent infrastructure, meaning that each year we build everything from the ground up — and after the season, we restore the site completely, leaving no trace behind.
Despite high demand, we want to keep the festival affordable, but we also need to ensure it remains financially sustainable in the long run.

At the festival and camp area, drinkable tap water is provided free of charge. Please look for the sign that the water is drinkable before you refill your own bottles (the water in Slovenia/Tolmin is very clean, however not all pipes are officially checked before the festival).
