19. Africa Festival Würzburg

Do my children also have to pay the entrance fee?

Children younger than twelve years do not have to pay the entrance fee. Shows in the children's tent and activities for children are in general free of charge. In the past years, the number of children attending the evening concerts has risen continuously. Sometimes children attend the concerts without any supervision. Due to security reasons we may only allow children from the age of twelve years on, accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and with an entrance ticket, access to the evening concerts. We kindly point out to our daily free of charge children's programme and the large supporting program, which offers each child great opportunities to enjoy the festival throughout the day. Parents are personally responsible for supervising their children.

Is there a reduction on ticket prices for families?

Yes. The special family ticket costs 15,00 Euro a day for families with children from the age of twelve.

Is it true that it is not allowed to bring own beverages onto the festival ground?

Yes, this is true. A couple of years ago we introduced this rule to put an end to rising waste disposal costs which were skyrocketing due to thousands and thousands of bottles and cans brought onto the festival ground by visitors. Another reason for this regulation is that all the concerts on the open stage and the program in the chirldren's tent is financed by our own beverage turnover. Thus, we depend on our beverage sales.
Beverages for babies, toddlers and small children are not subject to this rule.

Is tap water available on the festival ground?

Yes. The destinated areas are posted on signs at the gates and marked with a 'T'
