We consider ourselves lucky to partake in a festival set amidst the rich historical and cultural heritage of the Mesocco Castle. The fact that the municipality provides us with an opportunity to savor such a unique experience is not to be taken lightly. Therefore, we appeal to all participants to treat the venue with utmost respect.

Moreover, the Maat Festival team is committed to adopting eco-friendly practices to minimize our environmental impact. We request everyone to extend their cooperation by using the designated bins for recycling and refraining from littering the surroundings with any kind of waste, including cigarette butts. Let's come together and make the festival an enjoyable and responsible experience for everyone.

Kindly note that pitching a tent within the festival area is strictly prohibited. However, you may set up your tents in Soazza, where parking facilities are also available. For your convenience, shuttle buses will be operational throughout the festival duration, transporting you from the castle to the camping site.

Please bear in mind that the camping area is unsupervised and free of cost. Therefore, we cannot be held accountable for any theft or damage that may occur. We request you to take necessary precautions to safeguard your belongings and respect the environment by leaving the site clean and litter-free. Let's make the most of this unforgettable experience while ensuring the safety of all festival-goers.

The Festival boasts the use of cutting-edge sound systems from L-Acoustics, one of the world's top brands. While we take every measure to adhere to the regulations governing the protection of our audience's hearing, the sound emissions may reach 100 decibels, depending on the location. Extended exposure to such high sound levels can cause damage to your eardrums.

Hence, we highly recommend that you use the earplugs we provide, free of charge at the festival. Your well-being is our top priority, and we urge you to take this precautionary measure to protect your hearing. Let's all have an unforgettable experience at the festival while prioritizing our health and safety.
