There is a special part of the campsite dedicated for campervans.
Campervan parking fees:
- campervan - regular parking 80€ (full festival)
- campervan - parking with electricity 105€ (see ELECTRICITY FOR CAMPERVANS for more details).
You can get a campervan parking ticket on our webshop. The number of campervan parkings with electricity is limited.
Please note that 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.
The camping is open from Wednesday 09.07.2025, 3PM, until Monday, 14.07.2025, 10AM. Camping from Thursday till Monday 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.
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 also get a bit chilly 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. Many people prefer to party during the day and rest at night. Another reason is that we are not permitted to play loud music outdoors after 1 AM. Failure to comply with this rule could lead to losing the festival location. You might think that your sound system cannot produce that much noise, but you would be surprised how far it can travel. 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.
How does it work?
When you purchase a drink (in a plastic cup, bottle, or can), a cup deposit of 2€ will be charged. When you're ready for another drink, simply exchange your old cup / bottle / can for a new one - this way, you won't be charged another deposit.
Alternatively, you can drop your cup off at the cup deposit station (located next to the paycard loading station) to get your deposit refunded to your paycard.
Please remember that your paycard will be charged a deposit with your "first" drink purchase. For each subsequent drink, you'll need to return your "old" cup to avoid an additional deposit charge. To get your deposit back, bring your empty cups and your paycard to the cup deposit point. You can only return as many cups as you've been charged for on your paycard.
You can always check the number of cup deposits currently billed on your paycard. This information is printed on every receipt you receive at the bar, or you can check it at the top-up/cup deposit stations.
We use reusable plastic cups. They can be washed and reused up to 100 times! This is a significant stride towards reducing festival waste and making the Butik Festival more sustainable. Together, we can keep the festival site clean, not just for us, but for the surrounding environment too.
At Butik Festival, we offer a variety of daytime activities to keep you engaged and refreshed. More info will be announced in the festival app and on our social media.
Early arrival at Butik Festival is possible from Wednesday, 09.07.2024 at 3 PM. The camp will be open and ready to welcome the first visitors. However, an early arrival pass will be required for this extra day of camping and music program.
Do note that not all bars and food venues will be operational on this early arrival day. And while we're dedicated to getting everything picture-perfect for the festival, there might be some last-minute production work underway throughout the festival area.
There will be one stage operating on Wednesday and it will run until 1AM.
You can get an early arrival pass on our webshop.
Prices:
- Early arrival pass pre-order price: 25€
- Early arrival pass on site: 30€
When you arrive at the festival you need to exchange your ticket for a full festival wristband at the box office. Please note, there will be no name checks on the tickets.
To arrive at the entrance location, please follow navigation to this place.
Once you get your wristband, you can access the festival site from any direction.

- Every outlet has its own RCD
Upon arrival at the parking please inform the staff at the entrance if you require assistance with your electricity hookup. They will provide you with the necessary instructions and the technician's contact number. Ensure you have your campervan with an electricity ticket ready. You will need to call the technician for the hookup process or in case of any issues.
The technician is available from 8.00 until 22:00
Users need to have their own cable, we suggest 50m (better even more!)
Please note that petrol/diesel power generators are NOT ALLOWED in the camp. The noise is disturbing other campers and also inhabitants of Tolmin who live nearby the campsite. Being respectful to the local community is very important in order to keep this festival location.
We know many of you love exploring the Soča Valley before, during, and after Butik. That's why we've created a brochure featuring special deals just for our guests. For any questions about these offers, please contact the providers directly.
We can't wait to welcome you to the Soča Valley!

Butik Festival, in collaboration with Punk Rock Holiday and Tolminator festival, 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 over 37.000 €, supporting a diverse array of causes - from rescue dogs, the local football club, breast cancer awareness organization, firefighters, association for helping people with disabilities, model gliders 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 last year.
The Festival Fund initiative is something that brings us immense joy, seeing the positive impact it has on so many lives. Rest assured, we will continue this tradition in future events, spreading smiles and making a difference where it matters most.
To get a better understanding of the festival site, you can check this map. A detailed festival map will be available in the festival app.
IMPORTANT: As of 2024, the venue layout has changed slightly due to the new bypass road. Please check the updated entrance and parking locations to avoid any confusion on arrival.
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.
This tax was introduced through a decree that also secured Butik festival's permit at its current location until 2027. This doesn't mean that Butik will only continue until 2027; rather, the municipality will reassess the conditions then and decide whether to extend or modify them.
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.
There is a firefighter watch at the festival grounds — always respect their instructions.
If the weather is dry and the risk of wildfires is high, open fires will not be allowed under any circumstances.
In case of an emergency, go directly to the firefighter station located in the campsite and inform them immediately.
For your safety and well-being, we provide a First Aid Point that operates 24 hours a day during the festival. The First Aid Point is more than just for emergencies, it's there to make sure your health needs are taken care of throughout the festival. So don't hesitate to drop by if you have any situation that requires medical assistance.
If you experience any alcohol or other substance-related difficulties, you can look for DrogArt team - a Non-Governmental organisation, that is dedicated to harm reduction in nightlife settings and are here to provide support, without any prejudices.
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.
Please take a minute and read how garbage deposit works and why it is important.
The garbage deposit is a system implemented at Butik Festival where campsite attendees are required to provide a monetary deposit upon arrival. This deposit serves as an incentive for festival-goers to properly dispose of their waste by returning full garbage bags to designated points. By implementing the garbage deposit, the festival aims to maintain a clean and litter- free environment, preserving the natural beauty of the festival and its surroundings.
- How does it work?
The garbage deposit is required for campsite attendees at Butik Festival.- Upon arrival, campers will receive 2 trash bags.
- 10€ will be deducted from your PayCard for the garbage deposit
- Return full garbage bags to designated points to receive a 10€ reload on your PayCard. Check out GARBAGE CENTER OPENING HOURS.
- What if I am not staying at the campsite?
If you're staying elsewhere, present your reservation proof upon arrival to avoid the garbage deposit. Proactively share your accommodation details and proof to prevent any misunderstanding. - Why is this so important?
Butik Festival takes place in a beautiful location on the edge of Triglav National Park.
To preserve the festival and campsite areas, it's crucial to prevent them from becoming a landfill.
Maintaining cleanliness enhances the festival experience and ensures a positive relationship with the local community, who are strict about keeping nature clean.
GARBAGE CENTER OPENING HOURS:
- Fri, 11th July: 10AM - 6PM
- Sat, 12th July: 10AM - 6PM
- Sun, 13th July: 10AM - midnight

If you've got leftover funds on your PayCard, you can get your cash back at any time. Just head over to any cashier on the festival grounds. They'll be able to check the remaining balance on your card and give you the equivalent amount in cash.
Please note that throughout the festival, at least one PayCard station will always be open for your convenience. On the final day, Sunday, we'll convert the main bar into a PayCard return station, operational from 12:00 to 00:00.
On Monday, there will be one PayCard return station operating at the info point from 8:00 to 10:00 AM. If you are in a hurry, we encourage you to handle your money return on Sunday to avoid queues.
Make sure to return all cups that are billed on your paycard in order to get deposits back.
Lastly, any unclaimed funds left on PayCards will contribute to the FESTIVAL FUND, an initiative we've set up with Punk Rock Holiday and Tolminator festivals. These funds are donated to local NGOs chosen by the community, ensuring any unspent money continues to do good even after the festival ends.

These items will not, under any circumstances, be permitted into the festival area. Any found items will be confiscated.
Please note that nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is prohibited at Butik. Its use disrupts others' enjoyment, and violation of this rule will result in removal of your wristband and dismissal from the festival.
However, we understand that basic items like cutlery are essential for those camping with us. You're absolutely welcome to bring these to the campsite.
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.

To make things easier, we offer free pocket ashtrays at the entrance — grab one! They're convenient, reusable, and you'll love it.
Please also make sure your cigarette is completely extinguished before tossing it. The festival takes place in a natural setting and during dry summer, the risk of wildfires is real. Be extra careful — this is extremely important.

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.
The tents are already set up in a shaded area when you arrive and there's no need to fold up the tent after the festival. We require a €50 deposit to secure your tent, which will be returned to you upon departure, provided the tent is left undamaged.
You can use the tent from the beginning of the festival—Wednesday, July 9th at 3 PM—until the campsite closes on Monday, July 14th at 10 AM.
To ensure a smooth process, here's a step-by-step guide on how things work at the festival:
- Upon arrival at the festival, proceed to the info point.
- Show your rent-a-tent ticket to the staff.
- Inform the rent-a-tent team of your expected departure time.
- Pay the €50 deposit with your festival paycard.
- A member of our rent-a-tent team will escort you to your tent.
- When you're ready to depart, go to the info point.
- Our rent-a-tent team will accompany you to check the condition of the tent.
- If the tent is undamaged, you can retrieve your deposit at the info point.
The price of 150€ includes:
- A Quechua tent (180 x 210 cm)
- 2 self-inflatable mats
Please remember to bring your own sleeping bag, as the nights can get quite chilly.
Please note that this service is only available for pre-order and will not be an option during the festival. The number of available tents is limited.

We've created an official ticket reselling platform where you can sell and buy your Butik tickets safely. It's the one and only 100% secure way to purchase your festival tickets if the primary sales are sold out.
On our official reselling platform, when you purchase a ticket, you receive a new one with a unique barcode, and the seller's ticket is immediately invalidated or 'burnt'. This means you won't need to worry about anyone else having the same ticket as yours - your entry to the festival is assured!

Please beware of ticket offers from random individuals posting in Instagram and Facebook comments. Most of the time, these offers are scams. This is an organized activity, and each year we record several cases.
Remember, we don't have an official partnership with third-party platforms like Ticketswap, so buying tickets from such places is not 100% safe.
We understand that ticket arrangements can change and sometimes tickets get passed on to others. As long as you have a valid ticket, you're good to go, regardless of the name it bears. We don't check if the name on your ticket matches your ID at the box office, as it's the unique code on the ticket that is key, not the name.
If you've purchased your ticket from a friend or through our official resale webpage, rest assured, your ticket is still valid.
