An independent magazine about travelling to festivals and events. This is not the website of an exhibition or its organisers, it does not sell tickets and it has no connection with previous websites on this domain.

Notes

Notes and articles

This is where the magazine's standalone pieces are collected: longer and more detailed than the reference sections. They are notes on how to travel to an event, where to stay near the site, how to spend a day in the crowd and how to get home without rushing. The catalogue grows gradually, and each language version of the site has its own.

A good piece about a celebration is useful even to those who have never been to that event: there is always something in it about the journey and the people.

— Editor's note

How this section works: the catalogue includes pieces about travelling for events, covering preparation, tickets, travel, accommodation and behaviour on site. We do not promote specific events and we do not publish advertising.

Catalogue of articles

This is where standalone articles for English-speaking readers appear. They are written specifically for this version of the site, not translated from other languages.
