FAQs

Kamiwaza takes place on the lush grounds of a medieval castle. It's a magical fairytale weekend on 70 hectares of land, space to roam around and explore. The explorer wins, always.
The castle is located near Angers, Pays de la Loire.

We can be reached by car, train, or a combination of plane and train. We organise shuttle buses from Angers to the castle. The Paris - Angers train connection is really good, fastest options are about 1,5 hours (starts around 30+ Euros). The slower, cheaper train starts from 16 Euros. Blablacar buses could also be a nice alternative to get to Angers when you're coming from further away.

If you prefer to come by car, we recommend to share rides, to lower the environmental impact. To find/ share your car ride, check out our togetzer event.

For more info about the shuttle buses from Angers check out the next question.

See you there!

We will serve you with a musical journey into deephouse, techno and some funky surprise genres. We've got conscious, movement, sensual and sexy workshops and since we're all about creators, we invite you to share your magic too. Expect creativity all around.

In our new area, The Peacock Garden, you can explore and express your sensual/ sexual side. Levantine House will provide the ultimate chill area, a place where new friends are made.

We want to be a space of exploration of new and old ways of interacting, of options, of beliefs and mainly of experience.

Mind you, variety is the spice of life.

Every year, we welcome a lovely diverse group of people from multiple nationalities (French, German, Dutch, among others).

We want to be a place where people from different horizons feel at home. Where the hippies, the queer, the kinkies, the ravers, the punks, the radicals, the posh, the lovers, the nudes, the parents and the children can all lower their guards and join in a collective experience. With music and art as a steady base.

We have a dedicated area for families with small children. Children should be supervised at the festival, which means that we don't advise bringing children in the age of 12-18 years old. We wouldn't want them roaming around by themselves. If you have physical limitations that would require assistance or adjustments, please get in touch with us, so we can discuss how we can support you.

Dogs or other pets aren't welcome. For dogs of crew members, we make some exceptions, especially if they're very cute and socialised. We understand that if you stay at our grounds for a longer period of time, more flexibility is needed.

It looks like the summer of love is finally here, no masks, no tests. If anything changes, we will inform you through our social media channels. Please join our Facebook group.

The timetable will be announced when you arrive. You can find our line up on our socials to get excited.

We dance during the day and during the night. Early in the morning volumes will be kept reasonable for some hours for some peace and quietness. Because of the spaciousness around the castle, you can always find a quieter spot to wind down, keep your own pace.

Make sure to bring your own sleeping arrangement (tent, hammock), ear plugs, condoms, money (cash or card), cigarettes and a mobile ashtray, a cup/ plate/ bowl and cutlery (to reduce plastic used to a minimum!) and of course your favourite party clothes. For the peacock garden, our sexy playground, we invite you to bring out your inner sexy paradise bird. We invite you to be a little extra in your expression, so pack accordingly. Lingerie, fetish wear and/or nudity is encouraged in this area.

Like you, we like to eat well. So we've got you covered with quality meals. We've got a local chef preparing fresh and healthy meals for you, with local ingredients. Of course we have plenty of plant based options.
Every morning the Breakfast Bar is filled with absolute breakfast bliss. A food truck will provide sandwiches for a quick bite in between.

As the usage of plastic is reduced to the minimum, it's very important that you BRING YOUR OWN plate, bowl and cutlery. For the bar we have ecocups.

Next to drinks, food, coffee, cocktails etc, we have our own quirky market; the artisan bazaar. For the coolest second hand finds, regional food products, and more.

Essential items like ear plugs are provided at the info point for free.

We don't sell any cigarettes on site.

You can pay with cash or card (MasterCard/Maeastro/Visa/etc) at the festival. Cards are preferred!

Yes, free drinking water can be found in the festival area. We even go as far as not selling bottled water at our bars.

There's a parking area. You can't camp in the parking area. It's just a small walk to the camping ground.

For a camper van, you'll need a separate, extra ticket. Unfortunately campers and tents can't mix due to the soil and for security reasons. You can pitch up a tiny tent right next to your camper just for luggage but not for 'living'.

We want to preserve the lush grounds for many years to come, which means leaving it just as we found it. So the farmer can feed the grass to his animals and nature continues to thrive around the castle. This means not leaving any trash. We provide small trash bins around the dance floors, but ask to take anything you bring in, back with you. We do have bin bags if you need one. Also, cigarette butts are very pollutive, so use a mobile ash tray.

Yes, we have showers! They're warm...

No there's no electricity on the camping.

Important: you can't make any fire or BBQ.
