Practical Notes:
RE-LIGHT HALLENKALK takes place in a former industrial complex, where the rough charm is part of the festival’s atmosphere – and We warmly encourage visitors to explore the halls and outdoor areas.
But please keep in mind:
- Wear sturdy shoes (the ground can be uneven).
- Stay aware of your surroundings and move carefully.
- Some areas may remain closed for safety reasons.
Your curiosity is welcome — but caution makes the experience enjoyable for everyone.
