SUMMER BREEZE TAKES PLACE IN DINKELSBÜHL.
More precisely: in Sinbronn (a district of the large district town of Dinkelsbühl in the district of Ansbach (Middle Franconia, Bavaria)).
Important info for travelers that arrive by car:
In 2024 it’s not recommended to arrive via Dinkelsbühl due to a huge construction site.
Please use one of the following routes.
There are TWO Autobahn exits and a third route via Donauwörth that are recommended.
A 7 Ausfahrt (Exit) Westhausen
A 6 Ausfahrt (Exit) Ansbach
Route via Donauwörth
These routes are planned in cooperation with the police.
We strongly advise against making your own routes.
Warning: The highest waiting times are expected if you leave the recommended routes.

Opening of the access gates on Tuesday (early arrival day): 08:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Please read the special info about Tuesday HERE.
Opening of the access gates on Wednesday: 07:00 a.m. continuously until Sunday.
Early arriving Tuesday campers will be charged a logistics fee per person.
On Sunday the area has to be cleared by 14 o’clock at the latest.
The day parking lot is open daily.
ATTENTION: In order not to add to the arrival traffic, it is unfortunately not possible to leave the campsite by car from Tuesday to Thursday afternoon. To get to Dinkelsbühl you can use the shuttle bus for free. On Saturdays it is not possible to enter the camping area after 18:00. Eventual arriving visitors will be redirected to the day parking lot. In the event of inclement weather or severe weather, we reserve the right to alter access and parking procedures at our best discretion. This is to ensure a smooth process and we ask that you follow the staff in this situation without fail.
All those who wish to arrive a day earlier for SUMMER BREEZE may do so during the 12-hour time window on Tuesday. However, we have to charge those arriving early a contribution towards logistical costs per person, because it wouldn’t be fair that the additional costs (personnel, rent, etc.) are carried by all campers, but only those arriving early. On Sunday, the site has to be cleared by 14:00. The daily parking lot will be open from 09:00. We will put up signs around the entire Dinkelsbühl area to guide you to the campsite, parking lots and festival site!
PLEASE NOTE: Due to traffic restrictions, it will be impossible for you to leave the campground by car once you have entered it, from Tuesday until Thursday afternoon. If needed, the shuttle bus will give you a lift to the city centre of Dinkelsbuehl free of charge.
On Saturday it will not be possible to access the campsite by car from 18:00. People arriving by car after that time will be diverted to the day parking lot.
Parking is prohibited in Illenschwang and along the roads to SUMMER BREEZE!

SUMMER BREEZE FOR VISITORS WITH DISABILITIES
We are always striving to improve the service for our festival visitors with disabilities and to make the festival as pleasant and above all barrier-free as possible for them!
Severely disabled visitors with a B (need for constant accompaniment), H (helplessness) or BL (blindness) in their ID will receive a free ticket for an accompanying person at the Check In SV Sinbronn. It is important that the disabled visitor has a valid admission ticket and the corresponding severely disabled person’s ID with one of the above-mentioned marks.
Visitors with a wheelchair and a severely disabled pass will receive a free ticket for an accompanying person, even if the corresponding markings are not noted on the pass.
We can provide a platform including a disabled toilet for wheelchair users in front of the stages. Visitors with a doctor’s certificate stating that they need a seat will also be allowed on the platform if there is capacity. Wheelchair users always have the priority right to a seat.
There are 30 toilets suitable for people with disabilities on the festival ground.
Please feel free to contact our Infopoint at any time with any questions you may have on the plaza.
In case of emergencies we recommend our general emergency number 07366/920 000.

CAMPING ADD-ON HANDICAPPED CAMPING (limited availability)
Reservations must be made in advance for Handicapped Camping.
We offer a camping add-on for visitors with disabilities and wheelchair users. Here we can offer visitors electricity (e.g. for ventilators, e-rollis etc.) and short distances. In addition to handicapped accessible toilets, there will also be a handicapped accessible shower in the immediate vicinity. Recommended occupancy: 3-4 persons on the 50 square meter plot. Payment is per plot, not per person.
Location: The campsite is located close to the infield and the party area.
In case of separate arrival, please make sure that all members of your group have their booking confirmation with them. This will ensure that you have access to the corresponding handicapped camping plot.
More information about the Camping Add-On Handicapped Camping is available directly in our store: Please click here!
All information about arrival/departure with public transport can be found HERE.
Regular camping is included in the festival ticket price.
Add-Ons like reserved camping, comfort camping, caravan camping and handicapped camping are available in our shop.
There will be enough parking and camping space available. You may park your car right next to your tent. Camping is not permitted without the purchase of a festival ticket. Therefore, please make use of the official parking and camping areas.
The daily parking area can be found just across the street of the campsite entrance. You may also park your car in that area while camping on the campsite separately, but wish to make sure you can move your car at any time.
Only vehicles with a weight not exceeding 3.5 tons will have access to the campground. This also applies to caravans and mobile homes. Trailers which can only be towed by a tractor or lorry will not be allowed on the campsite. The same goes for tractors and generally all motorized two wheel vehicles as well as quad bikes and trikes, as well as pedelecs and e-bikes. Motorized two-wheelers with internal combustion engine, quads and trikes must be parked in the day parking area. Vehicles with a weight exceeding 3.5 tons can not be parked at SUMMER BREEZE, if you haven’t booked caravan camping.
PARKING TICKET:
For SUMMER BREEZE a separate parking ticket must be purchased per vehicle and per trailer. This ticket will only be sold on site. You will receive the parking tickets during the control of your vehicle in the control gates on Black Earth from our parking ticket sellers (purple vest).
Prices:
Parking ticket vehicle tba,-€
Parking ticket trailer tba,-€
GAS CYLINDERS:
Trailers and campers shall not bring gas cylinders exceeding 11kg. Please make sure your equipment is in good working condition and that you use it in an appropriate way. Any misuse may have fatal consequences. We believe this needs no further explanation.
GENERATORS:
If you plan on taking a generator with you onto the site, please make sure it is in good working condition and that it is not leaking oil or fuel. A maximum of 20 litres of fuel in an appropriate canister are allowed per vehicle. We trust you will handle this matter in an appropriate way and that it needs no further explanation or discussion. From 1 a.m., all aggregates need to be turned off for nighttime peace. There is a ban on generators in the GREEN CAMPING area!
Camping outside the official camping area is prohibited. Doing so will be fined!
DISTANCES ON THE CAMPGROUND:
Open fire is strictly prohibited throughout the entire camping and festival site. Camping stoves and barbecue grills are allowed. All grills and stoves MUST be set up on their corresponding stands on firm ground. Coal trays must not be in contact with the ground. Swivel grills are not permitted.
Disposable grills are only allowed with fireproof base (e.g. an old baking tray).
Due to some serious accidents which have resulted in life threatening injuries, we expressly urge you to exercise extreme caution when using fire starters to light charcoal barbecues! Oil lamps are not allowed on the festival site! The same applies to firewood and cressets!
As keeping camping areas free entails a great deal of additional organizational effort and makes it impossible to fill the camping areas fairly, we ask everyone who arrives at different times but still wants to camp at the same place to reserve camping areas. Unfortunately, in the past, different arrival times have led to really unfair filling of pitches, because people arriving have falsely claimed that someone is coming later to make extra space for themselves. This causes resentment among those who have to camp further away.
Ideally, you should organize your group so that you arrive together in the greater area of Dinkelsbühl if you don’t want to reserve a space. (Our tip: meet at a highway parking lot shortly before Dinkelsbühl and then drive together as far as possible).
An additional note for people with larger vehicles (including motorhomes) or vehicles with trailers (including caravans):
Please also orientate yourselves to the right, as the locks on the far right are much wider and you will get through the locks much more comfortably.
Those arriving by motorcycle are requested to use the locks on the right, as these are strategically better located next to the parking spaces for motorcyclists.
Group assembly point:
If your group does not get through the locks together, this is not a problem.
Meet at the assembly point after the lock, then continue together from there and end up next to each other in your camp.
Setting up camping equipment is prohibited in this area, and we can also give you a maximum of 30 minutes to organize your group there.
This area is intended to help the group get together quickly so that you can continue directly to the campground.
There is a ban of glass at Summer Breeze. We will strictly check each car entering the site. Our security will also check the camping grounds during the festival days. Please have understanding and avoid bringing any kind of glass containers.
This includes all food and drink containers made of glass, regardless of the use they are given (e.g. tobacco in a preserving jar). Due to the high accident and fire hazard, oil (kerosene/paraffin) lamps are prohibited too! Perfume flacons, medicine bottles and shishas are allowed.
Best thing to do is to pour all liquids into plastic containers. Please take this issue seriously – otherwise we will face massive problems in getting access to appropriate camping grounds in the future!
As is known from the rules in the past years, a peaceful, considerate and ecological behaviour is paramount in this camping area, so there’s a special set of rules for GREEN CAMPING:
– Strict observance of the nighttime peace from 1:00am to 7:00am
– Prohibition of aggregates and other sources of noise (car hifi use only at a moderate volume)
– Strict waste separation and disposal
– Self dependent cleaning of the used camping grounds
– Consideration with camping neighbours
– Sensible use of water supplies in showers and toilets
At GREEN CAMPING we depend on your active help.
Only registered people will have access to GREEN CAMP. Access is not granted without a valid pass, meaning it is not possible to invite people from the “regular” campsite into the GREEN CAMP area.
There will be a special entrance to this separate, closed off area.
Fact check GREEN CAMPING:
– GREEN CAMPING is free
– Special closed off camping area
– There is no limit on the number of cars, but obviously not everyone should be arriving in their own (ecobalance!)
– A separate parking ticket must be purchased on site for each car.
– Besides the camping reservation, a separate parking ticket must be purchased in advance on site with an extra charge.
– It is possible to keep camping space free for people arriving later
– Strict observance of the nighttime peace from 1:00am to 7:00am
– Prohibition of aggregates and other sources of noise (instruments etc., car hifi use only at a moderate volume)
– Strict waste separation and disposal: the GREEN CAMPING ground must be free of waste at all times, and the collected waste must be separated for recycling
– Self dependent cleaning of the used camping grounds
– Consideration with camping neighbours
– Sensible use of water supplies in showers and toilets
– GREEN CAMPING relies and depends on the responsibility of the people who make use of it. We hope for some intra-group control. If anyone acts flagrantly against the GREEN CAMPING philosophy they lose the right of access and have to camp on the regular campsite. In case of gross misconduct, we reserve the right to expel the person in question from the festival altogether!
– There will be an appropriate number of portable toilets and urinals in the GREEN CAMPING area for use free of charge. There will be paid showers right next to the GREEN CAMPING area.
– Only tents and gazebos with no added elements are allowed.
– Big furniture elements such as armchairs, sofas, beds and refrigerators are not allowed.
– GREEN CAMP users agree to take their whole tents and camping equipment with them on the day of their departure and to dispose of their whole waste separately (recycling-ready) at the GREEN CAMPING waste disposal station.
We ask you for your kind help to address the garbage situation.
HERE you can see what we achieved so far!
WASTE STATIONS and SEPARATION OF WASTE – LESS TRASH, MORE THRASH!
Please also make sure you keep your camping space tidy during your entire stay in your own interest.
Please make sure you do not leave any metal items such as tent pegs in the ground. Leaving furniture harms the festival immensely due to high disposal costs.
Music and party on the campground are essential parts of the festival, but please be reasonable and respect your neighbors. We´d like to remind you to shut down your generators at 1AM to reduce the noise.
In order to park a motor vehicle on the campsite, a parking ticket must be purchased per vehicle and per trailer. This ticket is only sold on site. Please note basic info on CAMPING / PARKING / CAMPAIGN EQUIPMENT / VEHICLES.
Prices:
Parking ticket vehicle 20,-€ (full festival) / 10,-€ (day ticket)
Parking ticket trailer 20,-€
There is also a charge to park on a separate day parking lot.
The above applies to all motor vehicles with an internal combustion engine (i.e. cars, motorcycles, caravans, etc.).
Those arriving on Tuesday must pay an extra contribution towards logistical costs per person. You can purchase your parking tickets from our parking ticket sales team, who will be located between the festival bracelet collection point and the security control corridors. That means, first you go to exchange your ticket for a festival bracelet and then you buy the parking ticket for your vehicle at the entrance to the security control corridors.
This year we are pleased to partner with CROWDPFANDING. CROWDPFANDING employees will be on the ground as bottle deposit collectors.
Unauthorized collection of returnables is not permitted on the festival site!
Camping is always included in the ticket price.
All information for the bonus offer RESERVED SPACES can be found HERE.
