Dubūrys Lake Island

Treat the island as your home, but do not forget that it is home to all of us. You will be repaid with refreshing and beautiful nature and the voices of cranes in the morning.

The island of Lake Dūburys is located within a nature reserve. All festival participants and visitors are obliged to take care of the environment and observe the rules of conduct applicable to open-air events.

Due to the environmental considerations, traffic and parking inside the island is restricted. (More information about parking >>).

Visitors are not allowed to bring any alcoholic beverages or glass containers to the Festival Site. It is also forbidden to bring weapons and other items potentially hazardous to people. Aggressive and intoxicated persons will be asked to leave the Festival Site. All visitors, their belongings and vehicles will be searched. More >>

Camping site

  • The island of Lake Dūburys is full of spacious lawns and forest outskirts suitable for building a tent. 
  • There is enough space for those who like peace and those who choose to party late. The entire southern portion of the island – almost half of the festival site – will be reserved for camping.
  • A special peaceful area will be designated for families with children. 
  • Camping is free of charge this year.
  • Please be conscious of your tent neighbours.
  • Do not leave valuable personal belongings in your tent – especially at night.

Other accommodation options

There are homesteads and hotels in and around Zarasai (20km) and Dusetos (12 km). Options become scarce closer to the festival date. Information is available from the Zarasai Tourism Information Centre, and the internet.

Camping Conditions

CAMPING

We invite you to set up your tents only in the designated tent city area. Please note that some zones are reserved for campers. Also, please do not block access to the toilets; the most important paths and driveways will be marked. For those seeking shade or wanting to hang their hammock, we recommend setting up in the forest area in the southern part!

LIGHTING

During the night, Dūburys Island is enveloped in deep darkness, so you will definitely find it useful to have a flashlight, headlamp, or another safe light source.

HYGIENE

Toilets will be available in active areas, near the tent city, at the gates, and in the parking lots. Showers will be installed near the VIP camping area. You can also wash off the road dust in saunas led by professionals. We encourage you to help maintain cleanliness and order in these facilities!

CLOTHING 

The weather on the island can be unpredictable. Be prepared with warm clothes, appropriate rain gear, and don’t forget rubber boots and insect repellent.

WATER

There are several springs on the island. Drinking water will be sold at the Žinyčia, but we urge you to bring your own, as there may not be enough for everyone. Additionally, a large water tank will be placed near the main swimming area for visitors.

MEDICAL SERVICES

A first aid station will be available 24/7 near the organizers’ headquarters.

FIRE SAFETY

We don’t joke around with fire, and we won’t allow you to either. We will invite you to enjoy the bonfires prepared by our skilled team. Please do not set up fire pits or any other forms of open flame near the tents. If using a grill or gas stove, be careful and do not leave them unattended!

WASTE AND NATURE

We kindly ask you to bring your food in your own containers and avoid packaging, or more frequently enjoy the hot food prepared at the festival. In the camp, we invite you to use your own garbage bags or those provided at the Žinyčia, and on Sunday, after packing up your tent, leave only an impression in the grass. Please do not litter cigarette butts or other waste. And if you see a piece of trash left by someone else, don’t hesitate to pick it up.🙂

SWIMMING

You will find at least 5 swimming areas on the island – near the ORG headquarters, the Dūburys stage, the VIP camping area, the sauna zone, and Kaukai Island. Swim responsibly, enjoy the water only when sober, and don’t test the bottom’s hardness with your precious head.

FOOD AND DRINKS

Do not bring any glass containers or alcoholic beverages, as well as any weapons or other dangerous tools! Food vendors will be available at the festival, and you will also be able to refill your water from tanks or springs. Please leave as little packaging and waste on the island as possible, and take your belongings with you when you leave, or even better, don’t bring any packaging at all!

TRADING AND CASH

You will be able to purchase a lot of great stuff at the festival – MJR and band merchandise, music records, handicrafts, food, and drinks. Drinks at the festival will only be served in reusable deposit cups, which can be purchased at the Gates and the Žinyčia (2 Euros in cash), and to promote sustainability, we encourage you to bring your cups from previous festivals. Only THIS YEAR’S cups can be returned and only at the Žinyčia.
Most vendors will try to accept both cards and cash. However, anything can happen, so we recommend bringing cash, especially coins! The nearest ATMs are in Dusetos and Zarasai.

PETS

We know and see that you love your pet, but often these four-legged friends don’t understand the festival – the music is too loud, the crowds are too big. If possible, leave them at home, but if not, find more information here: https://mjr.lt/a-memo-for-those-attending-the-festival-with-their-pets/


PHOTO

Photography and filming are allowed at the festival (except in specifically marked areas or program parts), but please respect the privacy of other attendees. Please note: All images captured and publicly shared at the MJR festival may be used by the organizers for non-commercial purposes without separate coordination with the authors. The use of drones or other recording devices at the event site is only allowed with permission from the organizers.


FOR NATURE

Leave the island better than you found it.


HELP

If you need any assistance, please contact security personnel or the organizers – we will be happy to help. We appreciate your understanding, goodwill, respect, and helping each other.


A lost and found point will be operating at the Žinyčia, so please bring any found items there and look for any lost belongings!

 

SEE YOU BY THE JUODARAGIS FIRE!
