Your tropical friends weekend during Fresh

Category: Freshtival 2026
22 May

💦 The moment we’ve all been looking forward to is finally here. A weekend full of sunshine, music, beach vibes, chaos, inside jokes, and side quests that completely spiral out of control. 💃🍻

The forecast is tropical, so it’s extra important to come prepared and keep an eye on each other ❤️ That’s why we’ve taken some extra measures across the festival grounds:

• Extra shaded chill spots surrounded by nature 🌴
• Additional covered areas to cool down 💦
• Expanded beach area by the water 🏖️
• Free water points near the toilets at the Grolsch area 💧
• Extra sunscreen stations spread across the terrain ☀️
• The bars are stocked to the brim with extra water 🍻
• Extra ice pops available throughout the festival grounds 🍦

⚠️ SIDEQUEST TIPS FOR THIS WEEKEND
• Stay hydrated 💧
• Reapply sunscreen regularly ☀️
• Sunscreen is allowed in tubes (no sprays)
• Bring a cap, hat, sunglasses, or fan if needed 😎
• Hand fans are allowed as long as they don’t contain metal
• Take conscious breaks in the shade every now and then 🌴
• Be careful with alcohol in the heat 🍻
• And look out for each other ❤️

🌊 And yes… it’s still the beautiful Rutbeek. You’re allowed to stand in the water to cool off, but swimming or diving is not permitted. There are safety lines in the water, so always stay within these zones.
If you notice someone not feeling well, warn others and always contact security or first aid if in doubt. Together we’ll make sure everyone can enjoy the weekend safely. 🙌

Enjoy the sun, the music, the beach, and most importantly: each other. Let’s make this a legendary friends weekend together! 🌴☀️
