DOG POLICY - NO DOGS ALLOWED!
Please leave your dog at home. We must ensure that the festival is a safe place for children as well as the rest of our community. Meanwhile with noise, crowds of people, exposure to sun etc the festival is not a good environment for our four-legged friends.
At Suti 2024 there will be no dogs allowed. We are dog lovers ourselves and realise what fundamental parts of the family our canine friends are.
In 2023 we once again saw dogs running loose around the kids area. Our security team took care of a dog that had been left tied to a tree so its human could go and enjoy themselves – a dog left clearly scared and distressed whining loudly and pulling at its lead.
While complete prohibition of dogs on site is not ideal, at this point it seems like the best path available to ensure the safety and happiness of all. We appreciate your cooperation.
USEFUL INFO
The Suti Festival site is much cooler than most places in the Portuguese summer due to its riverside location and shaded areas. Even so, the days are likely to be hot, so remember to protect yourself from the sun with light clothing, a hat, and sunscreen. However, because you are near running water, the nights can be much colder than you would expect, and warm clothes and a warm place to sleep may be essential to enjoy the night.
Please bring your ticket, whether it is printed or on your mobile device. To enter the festival, you MUST also bring a photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport. When you arrive at the venue, check-in at the gate to get your bracelet and enter the festival grounds.
All ticket payments at the festival gate can be done in cash (Euros) and Credit/Debit card. The bar will also have a card terminal, where you should be able to pay with most credit or debit cards. Food stalls and shops will most likely only accept cash. There’s no ATM in the venue, but there’s one in Benquerença (2.3km distance). It may run out of cash, so come prepared.
Please be responsible for your trash and leave no trace.
Absolutely NO BURNING will be allowed due to very high fire risk. This means no campfires and no portable stoves or burners. Also, no glass will be allowed.
Finally, please bring loads of smiles and great vibes!
