* It is not possible to put up a tent next to the campers.
** Estate cars (wagon cars) do not count as campervans, so please don't buy the campervan parking if you would like to enter with your car (you will not be able to get in). If you're not sure about your vehicle, feel free to email us at info@butikfestival.com before purchasing.
The camping is open from Wednesday 10.07.2024, until Monday, 15.07.2024. 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 SHOWER AND FLUSH TOILETS.
There is drinkable tap water in the campsite, see WATER.
Most of the camping area is located under the trees which is well appreciated during hot summer days. However, keep in mind that it can also get a bit chilly during the night, so bring some warm clothes and a sleeping bag.

At Butik Festival, we're nestled within one of the world's most stunning festival locations. This makes us doubly committed to preserving the environment and keeping our festival site immaculate. We can't stand the thought of such natural beauty being marred by plastic cups, bottles, and cans. Therefore, we've implemented a cup deposit system.
How does it work?
When you purchase a drink (in a plastic cup, bottle, or can), a cup deposit will be charged. When you're ready for another drink, simply exchange your old cup 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. The number of empty cups should match the number of deposits charged to your paycard.
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 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 TBA.
Early arrival at Butik Festival is possible from Wednesday, 10.07.2024 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.
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.
More info TBA.
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.
More info TBA.

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.

Butik Festival, in collaboration with Punk Rock Holiday and Overjam Reggae 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.
In 2022 and 2023, we were able to donate over 25,000€, 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.
Festival map is usually available once the festival app is ready. Alternatively, you can see the map here.
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.
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, we've placed water stations all over the festival grounds. You're encouraged to bring your own empty bottles to the campsite for refilling.
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.
