  • Positivus Festival_publicity photo.jpg

Maybe you are not completely ready for the Positivus Festival: do not have a tent or a sleeping bag, do not know how to deliver your belongings to the Tent Campsite; then we recommend that you look at the offers of the Positivus partners. You might find everything you need and the best solutions, for example, send your bags by post or purchase what you need on the Internet and receive your purchases on the Festival site.

If you want to buy a tent, a sleeping bag, a backpack or a mattress, have a look at the offer of the tourism and active recreation goods shop Gandrs.  Produce a Positivus ticket at the Gandrs shops and get a discount of 17% on the above mentioned products; the campaign will be in force till the last day of the Festival, July 19. Furthermore, this year you can buy goods on the Gandrs e-shop and choose to receive them at the trade tent of Gandrs located opposite the entry to the Tent Campsite, and this service will be for free.

However, if you do not have time to purchase the required goods before the Festival, do not give up. At the Festival, it will be possible to acquire everything you need to live through this loudest music and art event of the summer.

At the trade tent of Gandrs you can buy products to protect you from the weather conditions (sun lotions, raincoats and ponchos, water-proof cases for phones, photo equipment, mosquito repellents), for comfy night sleep (tents, sleeping bags, mattresses), cutlery and stuff for meals and the like (dishes, pocket knives, burners, thermoses, energy bars), and various stuff for daily comfort at the Festival (head flashlights, pocket flashlights, chairs, charging devices, batteries, first aid kits etc)..

The JYSK trade tent will offer everything for a comfy rest in any weather conditions: from blankets and pillows, folding chairs, inflatable mattresses, plaids, towels to ponchos that are indispensable in rain.

If you wish not to carry all your belongings with you, you can send them to the Festival by post and receive them at the Tent Campsite. Already for the fourth year, Latvijas Pasts offers the Festival’s visitors the possibility to send their belongings to and from the Festival by post. From 8 July till 14 July, you can deliver your belongings for sending to the Festival at 33 Latvijas Pasts offices throughout Latvia (9 in Rīga and 24 largest regional offices). You can receive them in Salacgrīva by the Tent Campsite starting from July 16. It costs just EUR 3 per piece one way – and no worries. Furthermore, after the Festival, you can send your belongings also to outside Latvia: for EUR 7 in the Baltics and EUR outside the Baltics. More information: www.pasts.lv

To send greeting to your friends back at home, you can buy the special Positivus postcards, and send them on the spot, in the Festival’s venue and the Tent Campsite. Latvijas Pasts will send the postcards to the addressees from the Festival with, as every year, a special zip code of the Festival – LV-4099.
