Parking is on an active farming field; litter, especially metal waste, must be avoided to prevent harm to animals. Sleeping in the car is prohibited. Cars can be moved in and out of the parking area during the festival.
Camping is included in ticket price, with designated areas for tents and hammocks. Bring essentials, such as tarps, ropes, and sleeping gear suitable for the Finnish weather. The camping site is adjacent to the festival grounds. Campervans require a reserved space through Biletti.
Opens Wednesday at 19:00 and closes Monday at 12:00. Fri-Sun ticket holders are also welcome to arrive on Wednesday.
Caravans need reservations, and tents are not permitted in the caravan area due to limited space. Cars are also prohibited from the main camping site. Open fires are not allowed, but a designated campfire spot is available.
Please note that water tanks will be available on Thursday. Bring enough water with you, if you come to the area on Wednesday already.
For all you folks making your way to the festival from far away, we’ve added a tent rental option! Rent them, show the qr-code at the ticket exchange, enjoy the festival and let us take care of the rest (it’s difficult to put back in the bag)! You will find the tents readymade in a good spot. After the festival is over, Biletti will return the deposit to you if the tent and other gear are undamaged.
DUO PACKAGE 150€ (includes 50€ deposit)

You can find toilets in the Caravan area, but there is no running water or electricity. Children are welcome in this area, though we recommend the family camping site for a more suitable environment. The nearest water tank is located in the regular camping area.
Our parking team will guide you to your spot. The parking area will be full – tents, marquees etc. are only allowed if you’re located right next to the forest. These spots – like any other spots – cannot be reserved. If you want to get located next to your friends, the safest bet is to arrive at the same time. You can leave the area and return with your vehicle. Always follow the instructions given by the parking team.
Accessible near the festival site with sauna and showers by the lake. Please only use biodegradable products in the shower – free shampoo and soap will be provided by Välke Cosmetics.

Kosmos takes place in a forest, and the camping area is also located near the woods. The weather can change quickly: days may be hot, nights can be chilly, and rain can make the ground damp. Pack gear that helps you manage heat, rain and cool nights outdoors.
Pack so that you can manage independently at your camp in rain, heat and chilly nights. Keep dry clothes in a separate plastic bag or dry bag. Do not overpack, but do not rely only on a good weather forecast either.
Some suggestions to what to pack can be found below.
Remember to drink enough water, rest in the shade and take breaks.
Bazaar areas host a variety of food stalls, bars, and shops selling clothing, accessories, and crafts. Bringing alcohol is not permitted into festival area, and non-alcoholic beverages must be unopened. Bringing reusable water bottles is encouraged, as fresh water is available. Water tanks are for drinking only, please use the beach for hygiene purposes.
A small marketplace for independent sellers right in the center of the bazaar area. It’s a free space for selling art, crafts, merch and DIY. No reservations, pop-up selling by individuals only (you need to have a ticket to attend!).

Welcome to Kosmos Festival, where mutual respect and freedom to be who you really are come together to create a harmonious and safer space for all. Here are the guiding principles that will ensure a positive and inclusive experience for everyone.
The principles of safer space are as follows:
Treat one another with kindness, empathy, and understanding. Embrace the diversity of Kosmos community, appreciating each person’s unique journey. Let’s dance side by side, celebrating our individuality while fostering a culture of respect and acceptance.
Embrace the freedom to express yourself authentically. This is a space where you can let go of inhibitions and be true to who you are. Dance with wild abandon, wear what makes you feel fabulous, and embrace the liberation that comes from self-expression.
We stand firmly against all forms of violence, physical or verbal. This festival is a sanctuary where conflict is resolved through dialogue, understanding, and peaceful resolution. Let the music and positive vibes guide us towards unity and love, leaving aggression behind.
Engage in open, honest, and mindful communication with your fellow festival-goers. Listen actively, speak kindly, and seek understanding. Engage in conversations that inspire growth and connection, creating an atmosphere of shared experiences and deep connections.
Embrace people from all walks of life, cultures, and backgrounds, fostering a sense of belonging for all. Let’s celebrate our shared humanity and create a space where everyone feels safe and valued.
Respect and care for our natural surroundings. Reduce waste, recycle, and be mindful of the impact our actions have on the environment. Together, we can create a festival that leaves a positive footprint and preserves the beauty of our planet.
Look out for one another and offer support when needed. Be a friend to someone who may be feeling overwhelmed or in need of assistance. Let’s create an environment where everyone feels supported and cared for, with a sense of unity and connection.
By embracing these principles, we can create a Kosmos Festival that is free from nasty vibes, encourages individuality, and promotes harmony. Let music, art and self-expression guide us as we dance together, creating memories that will last a lifetime!
If you witness or experience discrimination, harassment or threat of violence of any kind during your stay at Kosmos, please contact our security personnel or Safer Space hosts (by Shyh ry, recognizable from their pink vests), who will offer their help to solve the situation.
