The Taubertal Festival is usually sold out before it starts.
If you want to be there, you should order your ticket in advance.
Aggregates are not permitted on any of the camping areas. Registered group camps can book an additional power supply.
The legal provisions for the protection of minors apply throughout the festival grounds.
Babies and children up to the age of 6 are not permitted on the festival grounds!
Children between the ages of 7 and 13 may visit the entire festival site, including the camping areas, if accompanied by a parent or guardian. A transfer of custody is not permitted!

Young people between the ages of 16 and 17 may visit the entire festival site if accompanied by a parent or guardian. A transfer of custody is permitted for the entire festival area.
Transfer of custody
Legal guardians have the option of temporarily transferring their custody to other adults. Written proof of this must be carried by the person concerned and the minor.
We reserve the right not to accept a transfer of custody (e.g. if there are doubts about the validity of the transfer or the suitability of the person to whom custody has been transferred).
If the young person is accompanied, the “Agreement on special care” must be legally executed and signed.
A custodian is, for example, a parent, guardian or third party to whom custody has been transferred by the parent or guardian for the duration of the event. If the young person is accompanied by a legal guardian, the “Agreement on Custodial Authority” must be signed and legally binding and handed in at the ticket office together with copies of the parents’/guardian’s ID.
Agreement on special care
Below you can download the “Agreement on special care” for parents who take their children (7 – 15 years) onto the premises:
“Agreement on special care 2024”
Agreement on custodial rights
For the transfer of custody from the parents/guardian to a third adult. Copies of the parents’/guardian’s identity documents must be attached to this.

The following applies to all public areas: Follow the instructions of the security staff and go directly to the collection points Valley I and Valley II for emergencies (see map).
An event on the scale of the Taubertal Festival produces huge amounts of waste (over 70 tons per year). A functioning waste disposal system is therefore essential for a positive environmental balance. Our environmental team will clean the entire festival site twice a day as best they can. Please remember – these people collect your dirt! Help them to do their job well!
Keep your campsite clean!
We reserve the right to expel campers who do not dispose of their garbage properly!
We collect garbage and not bulky waste! Leaving bulky waste (sofas, fridges(!), furniture and plastic pavilions etc.) is illegal!

So PLEASE take your old sofas, fridges and tents back home with you and dispose of them properly at the recycling center. You are welcome to dispose of general waste at our waste collection stations (see map).
Also remember the following: We bear the costs for the disposal of your waste. You therefore contribute to the pricing of the festival ticket by adhering to certain rules. The “all-inclusive price” can only be maintained if we get the waste problem under control. Together!
Garbage deposit
Every camper will receive garbage bags from us for a deposit of 5,00 €. Glass and residual waste are separated. The full garbage bags can then be returned to the designated points. The deposit is then paid out again.
