WEDNESDAY'S OPENING - ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
This year we will open the festival gates for the first and, possibly, the last time already on Wednesday, 5 July at 6:00 pm. This is a unique opportunity to extend your Pohoda by one day and at the same time avoid possible traffic jams on Thursday. It will be a community festival day full of a great party, which we will experience together in a place that becomes home to many visitors for a few days – in tent camps.

WHY ARE YOU OPENING GATES ALREADY ON WEDNESDAY?
The reason is the ongoing reconstruction of primary road no. 9 between Drietoma and Mníchová Lehota, which is the main access route for cars going to the festival. From this road, you can reach the festival parking lot via Veľké Bierovce and Opatovce. The road will be passable only in the direction coming from Trenčianske Stankovice in a limited capacity, while the bridge over the highway and the river Váh will not be passable. The good news is that Wednesday, 5 July, is a public holiday, which will naturally reduce traffic.
WILL IT BE POSSIBLE TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT BY CAR?
- Yes, but please consider if you really need to leave the parking lot, since by opening the parking lots already on Wednesday, we are trying to spread the traffic over several days
