**Festival Dates**: July 18–20, 2025 at Airport Weeze, NRW.
**Road Closures and Access**: While specific road closure details for 2025 are not yet available, it is standard for major festivals like Parookaville to implement road closures and traffic management around the festival grounds to ensure safety and smooth access.

Festival Shuttle Buses run from Weeze station to both the entrance and campsite.
**Kiss & Ride Zones**: Separate, free Kiss + Ride zones (pick-up and drop-off zones) will be provided for citizens (both campers and day visitors) who are just being dropped off. These zones help reduce traffic jams during peak arrival and departure times.
