FAQ
Where can I park or stay overnight?
Almost every major trade fair offers parking spaces or partner campsites nearby. The StayFree app (https://stayfree.app)You can find verified campsites directly at the exhibition venues – often with photos, reviews, and service information. Tip: At smaller festivals, the "vanlife feeling" is included – you sleep right next to the event grounds.
When should I buy tickets?
Ideally several weeks in advance. Many events have early bird prices or limited spaces (e.g., rooftop tent festival or VW bus days).
Can I bring my dog?
Generally yes – but dogs must be kept on a leash almost everywhere. Check the event website beforehand, as some indoor trade fairs (e.g., CMT) have their own rules.
