Oh no, the same question again! Congratulations, we are happy that you chose our festival.

Family ticket works more as a “reward” for parents that face many challenges – looking after

the little ones during the festival.

You, as a newly married couple perhaps will face these challenges in the future, hence we

offer to purchase regular tickers and have wild fun at the MJR festival!

At the entrance Family ticket holders are required to provide a document confirming a child’s

age (birth certificate, ID card, passport, student card, etc.). Any other documents are not

required. You make a decision yourself on who are your family members.

We are proud to offer a wide range of activities for children, though you, as parents, are the ONLY people who are in charge of your children. Therefore, you are not allowed to leave them alone.

In order to avoid the sense of a supermarket lot or an automobile market – the organisers of

the MJR festival limit the number of vehicles on the Dūburys island. There is NO possibility

to place all the cars within the festival territory. We encourage all visitors to enter the island

with personal vehicle only in need and NOT because of your personal comfort. Visitors are

kindly asked to use either regular free of charge or secured and paid parking lots.

Your belongings can be transported by a special festival transport to a campsite – free of

charge. For this service, we are thankful to the main MJR festival sponsor “Vilniaus duona”.

 

A option – parking lot ~300–500 meters away from the island – free of charge, no security;

 

B option – parking lot close to the MJR festival entrance – 25 EUR;

 

C option – parking lot inside the island – 50 EUR, space of the parking lot is limited.

 

Entrance by car is allowed ONLY in good weather conditions.

Can I purchase a parking ticket in advance?

Parking tickets are only sold at the entrance of the festival. You will need cash to pay for it.

In order to protect a hydrographic natural reserve of Dūburys island as well as safety of our

guests and service staff we strictly regulate a number of vehicles inside the island.

In case of unpleasant weather conditions, we have a right to close the entrance for cars to

guarantee the quality of the roads as well as maintain blooming meadows on the Dūburys

island. Keep in mind, the regulations of traffic can be extremely important to ensure our

common well-being. 

In positive weather conditions, we can offer a limited parking lot inside the island that costs –

70 EUR. Campers are permitted to park in free-of-charge parking lots outside the island.

Free-of-charge parking lots contain bio-toilets.

Keep in mind, that the space for campers within the festival is limited. You may have a lower

amount of space than you are used to, therefore please stay understanding and respectful

towards our volunteers and employees.

We do not offer electricity nor water ports for your campers.

Most visitors arrive to the MJR festival on Thursday or Friday evening. In case you are

planning to come at this time we recommend you bring patience as well. 

Honestly, reaching Dūburys island is quite a challenge. However, there are some travel tips:

Klaipėda;

MJR symbols) Foreigners are asked to send an sms message “Noriu taksi į Mėnuo Juodaragio

festivalį”. It is a special taxi with a reduced price.

– Travel to a small town Zarasai, and from there take a taxi.

Feel free to pass your observations directly to organisers of the MJR festival, volunteers or

security. Dogs are allowed to enter the area of the festival ONLY with a leash, under the

owner’s supervision. Pets should not imply any danger or discomfort to other visitors.

Any alcohol, drugs, guns and other similar items that may cause danger to the public are

strictly prohibited. All the visitors are checked by security at the entrance.

In the MJR festival you can meet a lot of dogs with their owners, they bring a lot of joy. On another hand pet owners have to think about their responsibility and ability to take care of their dog during all festival. Dogs can’t be aggressive or be dangerous for people or other animals. They should be kept on leash and have a muzzle, which should be put on at the slightest chance of aggression. You also can’t leave your dog leashed with no supervision or let them swim in a common beach, not everyone likes company of the dogs. Everything that is left after a dog must be gathered by the owner. 

We remind you that dogs can act unexpectedly in a new environment full of people and other animals. Be responsible and if you have the opportunity to leave your dog at home better do so.

 

These rules should be followed strictly. Owners are obliged to take into account comments and instructions of guards and other guests, otherwise their animals will be asked to leave the event.

You have to think twice while making this decision. An animal has to be introduced to a program of the festival and has to agree to join the adventure. Consult this issue with a psychologist.

Talking seriously, you can take these animals only if you can assure their well-being, safety of the animal and people around, also that you will take care of the animal during all festival. That can be difficult. 

Yes, take one for yourself and another for your friend! Take spare bags from home, by doing this we can avoid a lot of plastic waste!

Event happens in ecologically sensitive area. We ask everyone to respect nature and don’t leave any trash, even the smallest. While leaving, take all that you have brought. Let’s leave the environment cleaner than we have found it. Let’s love Nature and respect each other.

Yes, you can. After checking your ticket you are given a bracelet. While coming back to the festival you will be asked to show your bracelet. It shouldn’t have any signs or removal or other damage. In case of doubt you will be asked to show your ticket. So keep your ticket till the end of the festival.

We start selling tickets on December, then their price is the lowest. If you want to buy cheaper tickets you have to get them as early as possible.
