Road tripping to Falls Festival screams Summer… And this year it has been made a whole lot easier with the help from the Festival organisers.
In Byron they have added buses to the beach and a vastly improved shuttle bus system, camping next to cars, carpooling services and heaps more. So now is the time to start thinking about your upcoming adventure to Falls, the escapades along the way and the people you’ll be sharing it with…
Check out some of the changes happening at this year’s Falls Festival events:
99 PROBLEMS BUT A BEACH AIN’T ONE
Falls Byron Bay is teaming up with the lovely folk at Brunswick Heads, the closest coastal destination and they will be scheduling lots of regular bus shuttles to and from the beach throughout the day for those who want to take a dip, catch some waves and have a mini-mid-fest-break. Jump right in and check out the crystal shores you could be lazing upon this summer! Ditto in Byron, there are plenty of services to get you there as well.
Lorne has regular shuttles to and from town with so many beach options available and Marion Bay is an easy 15 minute walk from sandy, salty shores!
CAMP NEXT TO YOUR CAR!
You will now be able to camp next to your cars at the Byron Bay Festival! No more separation anxiety and no more carrying your gear across the camping threshold. After receiving feedback in their surveys for Festival goers saying it was frustrating and not consistent with the Lorne and Marion Bay events, they have mixed it up this year to make it more convenient.
You can look forward to parking right next to your tent, being able to utilise your vehicle as a lockable device for valuables and driving your items to your final destination with zero fuss and maximum comfort. We just thought you auto know (car pun totally intended).
CAR FREE CAMPGROUNDS CLOSE TO EVENT ENTRANCE
Don’t stress, if you enjoy the tranquility and peace of a campground sans car or think you may need to leave the festival before Jan 3 in Byron Bay, there will be an option available for you. The best location right near the main event entrance will be held and you can drive your car to the venue where they will have a dedicated carpark near your camping area. Keep it clean, keep it green!
CAR PASSES ON SALE
If you’re driving to Lorne or Byron you will need to pre-purchase a Car Pass, this system reduces the cars on the roads and onsite – creating more space and encouraging carpooling. Figure out the day you’ll be arriving and lock it in. Remember, if you’re camping and you arrive with 3 or more people in your vehicle, you’ll receive a refund! If you are purchasing a day car park pass, 4 in the car and you get your money back!!
Marion Bay does not require Car Passes
SHARE YOUR RIDE
Look after Mother Nature and meet new people! Share or join a ride to Falls this summer with our Falls Ride Sharing app! Like we mentioned above if you arrive onsite with 3 or more people in your vehicle, you’ll receive a full Car Pass refund.
SLIM SHADY
A whole bunch of shady shelter options will be added throughout the Byron Bay site for lounging and keeping cool this Summer! Whether you’re out and about in the Main Arena or taking some time out at your campsite there will be heaps of destination bars, activities and places to hang out and catch-up, away from rays of light – even a water park! More shade in The Village, more bars and lots more overall light blocking structures, keeping those Vitamin D levels healthy and happy.
