For ten years now, Kyröfest has taken over the courtyard of Kyrö Distillery at Oltermannintie 6. What started as a slightly over-the-top backyard party has grown into a proper celebration. We’ll wrap up the night in style with a fireworks show lighting up the sky between 01:00 and 01:30.

Stay Hydrated
There are several free water stations around the festival area where you can refill your own bottle – you’ll find them marked on the festival map. And if you’re looking for something else, we’ve got plenty of non-alcoholic options available too, from water and soft drinks to coffee and refreshing mocktails.

Kyröfest is a cashless event. At all sales points within the festival area – including food, merch and bar stands – we accept the most common debit and credit cards, as well as contactless payments. Mobile wallet payments (such as cards added to your phone) are also accepted.

Cash is not accepted anywhere within the event area.

We recommend arriving by bus from Seinäjoki or Vaasa with Lehtosen Bussit (lehtosenbussit.fi). Please book your seat in advance. Updated timetables will be published closer to the event.

There is an official taxi stand located near the festival entrance.

It is also possible to arrive by your own vehicle. Parking areas close to the festival site will be confirmed and updated closer to the event. Traffic marshals will be on site to guide you to the correct parking area.

A free bicycle parking area is available right in front of the entrance. Please note that the area is not supervised, so remember to lock your bike.

Kyröfest is strictly 18+. The whole festival area is a licensed alcohol-serving area. Valid ID is required at the entrance.

Would you like to be part of the action? Now’s your chance to join the Kyröfest team – we’re looking for volunteers to help us create an unforgettable event together.

As a volunteer, you’ll get to enjoy the festival atmosphere in exchange for a small contribution of your time.

Interested? Send us an email at lyyti@kyrodistillery.com – asking doesn’t commit you to anything!

You’ll need a valid wristband to enter the festival area. Once you’ve swapped your ticket for a wristband, you’re free to come and go as you please on the days your ticket is valid.

Take good care of your wristband, it’s your golden ticket. Lost wristbands won’t be replaced, and once removed, they won’t get you back in.

A cloakroom service is available right next to the festival entrance. The fee is €5, and €3 per visit thereafter. The cloakroom is open throughout the event.

Please note that the festival is not responsible for items left in the cloakroom.

Kyröfest has a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment in all its forms. We do not accept any kind of discrimination, racism, violence, abuse, or violation of anyone’s personal boundaries.

As organisers, we take this matter extremely seriously and do our very best to ensure that no one has to experience such behaviour at Kyröfest.

If you encounter any issues during the event, please approach any member of the Kyrö staff or a security steward, we are here to help.

The Kyrö Distillery area is largely accessible, with the exception of a small grassy section. The entire festival area is outdoors and mostly on asphalt. Please note that there is no elevated viewing platform at Kyröfest.

An accessible toilet (ADA toilet) is located inside the restaurant, next to the Kyrö Shop.

If you require an accessible parking space, please contact us in advance at tonto@kyrodistillery.com.

Personal assistants are admitted free of charge when accompanying a guest who requires assistance. The assistant must be present when exchanging the ticket for a wristband, so that wristbands can be issued to both individuals against the assisted guest’s ticket.

Together we can keep the distillery yard clean and comfortable for everyone – so please make sure your trash makes it all the way to the bins.

You’ll find several waste stations around the area with containers for the most common types of waste. Our cleaning teams will be circulating throughout the festival to keep the area tidy and to help with sorting if needed.

Please note that smoking is only permitted in designated smoking areas – the rest of the festival area is smoke-free.

At Kyrö, we recognise our impact on the environment and actively work towards more sustainable event practices. Let’s do our part together and make sure every piece of trash finds its way to the right place.

Deposit System

The deposit system is one of the ways Kyröfest aims to reduce its environmental impact.

It works simply: when you buy a drink, you pay a small refundable deposit. Once you return your empty cup to a bar point, the deposit will be refunded to your card.

The deposit encourages festivalgoers to return and recycle their cups, helping to reduce waste and support more sustainable event practices. When thousands of people gather to enjoy music and good company, a significant amount of waste is inevitably created. The deposit system helps manage this by offering a small financial incentive to recycle.

If you lost something during Kyröfest, please contact us by email at visit@kyrodistillery.com to inquire about lost items.
