Sapfo Fest happens at Saugus atstumas, a cozy DIY campsite tucked deep in the Lithuanian countryside. Just 10 km from the tiny town of Kavarskas, and not too far from Anykščiai if you’re craving a proper shower or a soft bed.

Take a look at this year’s Sapfo Fest map — your companion through fields of joy, pockets of rest, and urgent quests for the toilet when the bass kicks in just a bit too hard. Let it help you picture the layout of our little utopia, so you can wander freely and always find your way back.

0utdoor showers (one of which is more accessible). Outdoor toilets (two of which is more accessible), and a wash station. Please bring your own drinking water (there is a well, but it is not sufficient).
Also, although every year we try to provide toilet paper, we ask you to bring a roll to avoid the risk of running out (nobody wants this kind of problem on a Saturday night!).
Restrooms & showers
Rubish
Sapfo is a camping festival, so everyone is invited to bring their own tents. Unfortunately, there are no other accommodation options. So if you don’t have a tent – or if you do and can host others – please post about it in the Facebook event!
Water
Bring drinking water. There is a well, but due to dry summers, it is not sufficient.
Allergies
During the festival, it will be possible to purchase vegetarian and vegan meals. We will also have coffee, tea, and a functioning 'bar'. Bring cash!
Food
The festival takes place outdoors – with all the joys of nature: sunshine, breeze, and sometimes… mosquitoes, horseflies, and other tiny visitors. If you're prone to allergies, bring whatever helps you feel at ease.
Pets
Pet owners are responsible for their dogs' behavior. Please carefully assess your dog’s temperament and choose the most appropriate way for them (or not) to attend the festival—for the sake of both others and your dog. The festival will be full of people, dogs, sounds, and smells—not all dogs will feel comfortable in such an environment. If your dog is anxious, make sure to use a leash. If your dog is prone to aggression or unpredictable behavior, a muzzle is required.
Active leisure
The homestead has plenty of space for various sports activities. Bring balls, badminton rackets, and similar equipment.
Price
To keep Sapfo inclusive and accessible, there is no participation fee. The festival is organized based on private donations, so all participants and supporters who are able to contribute are invited to donate either before or during the festival.
If you prefer not to be photographed during the festival, visit the Info Point to pick up a "No Photos" pin. Our photographers will recognize the pin and avoid taking your picture whenever possible. You are also always welcome to let any photographer know directly if you don't want to be photographed—we're happy to respect your wishes.
We care for the environment, so there will be designated points for sorting paper, plastic, glass, and organic waste. We also kindly ask you to bring reusable dishes and utensils.
Accommodation
Sound
Car parking is available in a designated area on the homestead grounds.
Parking
There will be only limited possibilities for charging your gadgets, so don't forget to charge your powerbanks before arrival.

Fun comes in all kinds of decibels – and ears have all kinds of sensitivities! The festival is a space for different experiences and ways to enjoy them, so we recommend bringing your own tried-and-true earplugs. We'll have a small amount available at the info point too – feel free to drop by and ask if you need some (supply is limited)!
