Frequently asked

NOWA Festival is strictly 18+. A valid ID is required at entry — no ID, no entry, no exceptions.

Limited parking is available around Noordendijk in Dordrecht. We strongly recommend public transport or carpooling, as nearby spaces fill quickly on event nights.

Yes. A secured cloakroom is available on site throughout the night so you can dance light and travel home easy.

Doors open at 19:00. The night runs until 04:00. Last entry is at 01:00 — plan to arrive early to beat the queue.

Tickets are released in waves: Pre-Sale, Early Bird, General and Late Bird. Each tier sells out before the next opens, so the earlier you buy, the less you pay.

Set times shown are provisional. The final per-area timetable is published closer to the event — follow @nowafestival for the announcement.
