Festival of People is Equal to Everyone

Provinssi is committed to working for the progress of equality and diversity in the music industry. Therefore, we want to create a safe and discrimination-free festival environment to all our staff, partners, artists, and visitors.

Equality and diversity are Provinssi’s most important values. We want to make sure everyone has a great festival experience, and therefore we take everybody’s needs into account individually.

Arrival and Parking

Accessible parking is located about 100 meters from the gates of the festival area. Due to the limited number of parking spaces, you need to apply for a parking pass in advance by sending an email to [email protected]. You can only apply for an accessible parking space with a disabled parking permit issued by Trafi or the police. Please change your ticket to wristband before driving to accessible parking area.

When applying for a parking permit, please include the following information:

  • Name of the applicant
  • Email address
  • The license number of the vehicle
  • ID number of your disabled parking permit
  • Day, for which the permit is applied for
  • Name of the driver

You can also arrive at the area by an accessible taxi. The stopping point for taxis is on Törnäväntie, about 50 meters from the gate of the festival area.

Wristband Exchange

Wristbands can be claimed at the ticket sale booth. Accessible wristband exchange is located at the ticket sale booth near the main festival entrance.

Assistants

Individuals needing assistance can bring their assistant to the festival free of charge. However, the assistant won’t receive a wristband of their own, but both the assistant and the assisted can enter the area with the wristband or festival ticket of the assisted person. Also, we recommend that you bring a certification of your need for an assistant with you.

The assistant does not need their own ticket for accommodation either, but you must notify us well in advance by e-mail: [email protected].

Stage Visibility

There are ramps and viewing platforms with excellent visibility near the biggest stages. Please note that the platforms are only for those who need them. Assistants can access the platforms if there is extra space. The locations of platforms will be marked on the map of the festival area. Also, the platforms are uncovered to please dress for all weather conditions.

Passages and Walking Lanes

Törnävänsaari is a beautiful parkland. The area consists mostly of gravel fields and parks, forests, and large green areas. A running river is dividing the area connected by two bridges.

The passages at Provinssi are wide and level sandy roads. While raining, the terrain may be difficult to navigate in places. Routes that are more difficult to navigate have either been leveled, or it is easy to find an accessible detour on the route. Also, at the festival site, there are signs and maps to help with finding services and figuring out the festival area.

The international wheelchair symbol indicates accessible routes, toilets, and stands.
