Low Happens Fest 2026
A festival for modified car enthusiasts, where you can meet like-minded people in a free atmosphere. There will be an opportunity to talk calmly with friends and acquaintances, to roast meat, and to participate in various activities and competitions, both big and small.
It doesn't matter if your car project costs several thousand euros or if you are a student with a limited budget for your project, you can safely go to the festival to meet other car owners, get new ideas, make new contacts and meet new people for whom cars are not just a means of transportation.
August 14-16, 2026

FAQs
Do I have to have a lowered car to participate in the festival?
You don't have to have a slamed car to participate in the festival. Your car should be well-maintained, interesting, and unique. We recommend leaving your beaters and everyday bottom-moving cars at home or at the entrance to the parking lot.
Will there be a show-off area at the festival?
There is no separate “show off” zone at the festival, or a separate area for beautiful cars. We respect and enjoy every clean, well-maintained and unique vehicle, regardless of the make or model.
Will it be possible to do a burnout?
No. There is NOT AND WILL NOT be a burnout zone, drift area, etc. at the event. These things are prohibited. In case of violation, you will be forced to leave the event venue. So, if you have put tires for burnout - just take them out and put up a tent with a sleeping bag instead.
Can I bring my own food?
Yes. You will be allowed to bring your own food and drinks into the area so you can grill meat and drink your favorite drink during the festival. Also bring your own grill and charcoal.
Will there be somewhere to sleep at the festival?
You can pitch your tent next to your car. We just ask that you pitch it behind your car so that your tent does not obstruct the view of your vehicle, as well as the ability to photograph and film it.
Price for tent is included in ticket price.
If you want to bring another car for sleeping (a van, camper or similar), you will have to buy a full ticket for car + driver.
Will tickets be available for purchase on site at the festival entrance?
Yes. You will be able to purchase entrance tickets on site, but expect that they will be more expensive on festival days than in advance. On site on the day of the festival, you will be able to pay for tickets ONLY in cash.
Will it be possible to purchase food and drinks on site?
Yes. You can buy food, drinks, merch, and other things on site. We recommend taking cash, as not everywhere you can pay with a bank card.
Can I bring my car with a trailer?
Yes, you can also bring your car with a trailer, but entering with a dailycar + trailer will cost an additional 10.00eur. There will be a special parking space for trailers.
IMPORTANT! The police may arrive at the area at any time, so if you bring a car on a trailer without an inspection and move around the festival with it, all traffic rules and penalties will apply.
See you at the festival!
Good quality asphalt leads to the event venue, so you don't have to worry about getting there.
