The parking area at the end of Rauhankatu has been dedicated to event maintenance. Public access is only possible through the main entrance to Hamina Bastion (Raatihuoneenkatu 12).

The festival bus runs from Kotka Travel Centre to Hamina Bastion on Friday from 4:00 PM and on Saturday from 2:00 PM. Cars stop in both directions at the Karhula ramps. In Hamina, the festival bus drops off and picks up customers from the same place, in front of St. John's Church (Raatihuoneentori 10). A one-way trip costs 8 euros.

The official taxi partner of the event is Kymenlaakso Taksi / 0100 87227. Kymenlaakson Taksi will have its own taxi rank at Raatihuoneentori during the event.

We ask customers arriving by bike or scooter to leave their vehicles a little further away from the immediate vicinity of the event venue (Raatihuoneenkatu and Pikkuympyräkatu) to ensure smooth movement. Sidewalks and street areas must be kept open for pedestrians and emergency vehicles. Road sections near the event area are not closed to vehicle traffic, so please follow normal traffic rules. Walking in the driving lanes is not allowed, and similarly, riding bicycles or scooters on the sidewalks is not allowed.

The event is organized by Klubi Events Oy
