FAQ

Lokerse Feesten is a 10-day city festival from 31 July to 9 August 2026, on the Grote Kaai in Lokeren, Belgium.

We advise you to leave your car at home: you can get to the Lokerse Feesten faster and without parking worries by bike, public transport or carpool. This way, you also contribute to a smoother and more sustainable mobility around the festival.
On foot or by bike? There are ample bicycle parking facilities on the Sportlaan, close to the festival site.

New: a night train every evening! This year, we provide a night train every evening to bring you home safely. Info and reservation will follow soon via our website and social media.

Still want to come by car?  You can. We also provide festival car parks for festival-goers outside the city centre. Please note: parking in the centre of Lokeren is not possible. Follow the signs to the right car park.

Lokerse Feesten is very accessible for people with disabilities.
We also have a wheelchair stage.

MORE INFO
Lokerse Feesten makes extra efforts to make the festival accessible to people with disabilities. We pay attention to the accessibility of the grounds and its surroundings:

• Closer to the entrance there are reserved parking spaces for cars of people with wheelchairs. Available only if requested in advance through this form. A blue card is not sufficient. Other less mobile people best use our shuttle buses.
• There is an elevation from which wheelchair users, people with crutches, ... can properly view the performances.
• An adapted toilet is available.
• People with disabilities can call on a free ADL assistant to help with practical matters such as using the toilet, moving around, eating, etc.

You can find an ADL assistant near the wheelchair elevation. Anyone wishing to use these facilities or for more information can contact the assistance team at assistentie@lokersefeesten.be.

Please also note the following practical arrangements:

• Own chairs are not allowed on the premises. Exceptionally, medically required chairs are allowed. These chairs are only allowed on the raise and with a medical certificate. In this case, please report to security who will call us to let you through.
• You can be accompanied by one person on the wheelchair stage. On quiet evenings, exceptions may be made.
• Lokerse Feesten grows in bands and spectators every year. The more the merrier. On very popular evenings, our wheelchair stage can get crowded. We then ask the attendants to leave the stage. This way everyone who needs our services can use them. On very popular evenings, we may also ask less mobile persons to leave the stage. Wheelchair users are given priority to use the stage along with his/her PAB assistant. Fortunately, this is the exception rather than the rule.

You can read about that here.

Lokerse Feesten is a cashless festival. Paying is easy with your cashless card, which you will receive together with your festival band at the box office on the Sportlaan.
You can also obtain the card at the top-up ticket offices on the square.With this card, you can pay at all bars and food stands, both on the square and in Club Studio Brussel.

For more information on the cashless system, click here.

As a festival, we work with reusable cups. Like the majority of festivals, we work with a cashless system to easily collect and refund deposits for these cups. A separate card (instead of a bank card) has many advantages: your payment is faster (less waiting at the counters) and does not rely on internet connection.

Purchases of food and drinks are made via a cashless card, powered by ING. To do this, you must first load money onto your account, linked to your card. Loading money (a top-up) can be done in several ways:

• Through the website. You can do this now. 
• At the top-up tills. This can be done with any bank card. 
• Via the QR code on yes card. Very simple: scan the QR code with your smartphone camera and follow the instructions. 
• Via our mobile app.

For the very first cash top-up, we charge an activation fee of 1.5 euros. However, refunding any remaining value on your card is completely free. 

Yes, you can and it is also free. From Wednesday, August 14 through September 14, you can request a refund via this link. After a few days the money will be back in your account.

There are several ways to do this:

• Go to the top-up tills or at the counters. You scan your card and our staff will be happy to give you your balance. 
• You can also create an account and link your card with your account. Then you can check your balance at any time: either through our website or through our mobile application

This account is still valid. If you forgot your password you can easily retrieve it. The ticket you used last year has been removed from your account though, since the event has ended. 

You will get a cashless card, powered by ING, at our checkouts or at the top-up checkouts. Have you already done a top-up in advance? Then you can very easily link that top-up with your card. Go to our top-up page or use our app.

If your cashless card is lost or stolen, and you have registered for your online cashless account, we can block the lost or stolen card, and transfer all of your unspent money onto a new NFC card for you. If you have not registered, then we are unable to either block the lost card or transfer the money that may have been on it.
