PARKING
BY CAR
Due to construction on Leernse Steenweg, there is only one spacious visitor parking lot this year.
It is accessible only from the direction of Leerne and is located along Ooidonkdreef near the soccer field. GPS: Ooidonkdreef
The maximum height for this parking lot is 2m20. Taller vehicles cannot pass through.
Visitors with disabilities: You can still park near the castle by coming via De Della Failledreef. (Please note! Accessible only from the direction of Deinze)
Please note that traffic conditions have been modified for this event: The grounds are accessible via Ooidonkdreef or Della Failledreef (only for people with disabilities!). From the parking lots to the castle, Ooidonkdreef is completely closed to traffic.
We strongly advise everyone against parking on public property; doing so will result in consequences.
BAN ON PARKING IN THE AVENUE
Parking along the avenues is prohibited as every year and this is so as not to cause a nuisance.
Cars will be irrevocably towed and fined.
In case all car parks are full, parking should be done safely along the public road (Leernsesteenweg).
You can walk along Ooidonkdreef at all times.
HYDRATE SUFFICIENTLY
You may have to queue in the car for a while before you are allocated a parking space.
Make sure you have enough to drink in the car should it be a hot day.
NO ANIMALS ALLOWED.
Remember at all times that no animals are allowed on the grounds of Elftopia.
Leaving your animals in the car is also prohibited at Elftopia.
BUY YOUR PARKING ONLINE
We recommend all visitors to buy a parking ticket online before the festival.
This will make everything run more smoothly.
Another good tip is to load your parking ticket on your phone or print out your ticket before you leave, this will make for an even smoother parking experience for everyone.
