STRICTLY NO FIRE IN THE FOREST!!!
Save the forest, don’t make a fire! There are no camping fires allowed in the forest (no torches, grills, camping cookers, or any other fire lamps) You will find official fireplaces on the map of the festival. Every stage, shop, and bar is equipped with fire extinguishers – use them when needed. If you noticed fire anywhere inform security of member of staff immediately.
There will be a guarded lake beach at the festival. Beach guard working hours 12:00 – 20:00.
Please refrain from bringing your pets to the festival. The event is growing and more people do like to bring their pets to the event. This creates some problems and undermines the safety feeling of general participants, especially those with children. If you decide to bring your pet to the festival, please keep it on a leash at all times.
Bio-toilets will be ready for use across the site. Please use them to prevent toilet paper from spreading in the forest and save those wandering around from stepping on your excrements. If you still decide to do your natural needs in the forest – no problem, but please follow a good example of our smaller brothers – bury it after yourself. Let’s keep the area clean and tidy truly everywhere.
There will be a few showers at the site. Please use only environment-friendly soaps and shampoos.
Bank cards only will be accepted at ticket gates, bars, showers, and info point. Cash will still be accepted as a tip by the bartenders, also restaurants and shops. No ATM will be operating at the site. Take care of cash prior to arrival.
The annual membership fee is part of Yaga’s funding. Yaga is more than just an entertainment event – it is a cultural phenomenon. A large part of the event’s budget is used to implement various artistic expressions and cultural activities at the festival. The principle of membership and ticket funding helps to optimize costs and implement more diverse projects without taking into account their commercial benefits.
Everyone who pays taxes in Lithuania can donate 1.2% of his/her income tax to a non-profit organization – this is what the Lithuanian Law of Charity allows to do. It will not cost you anything. It will take you only several minutes and it will greatly contribute to the festival you feel connected to.
