Waste management
Try to leave behind Shankra Festival a positive trace by cleaning the ground, collecting your own garbage and throwing it in the indicated places.
Use pocket-ashtrays, and if you lose them, please don’t throw cigarette buds in the grass, they it takes two years until they decompose and and they are hard to pick up!
Use toilets. Don’t go all around the forest. Try not to leave tissues or tampons around.
Eco Team
A clean crew will be here to help us keep the Shankra Festival site clean.
Members work as volunteers, so you can make their job a lot easier if you don’t leave a mess in the areas.
When in need, you can always ask them for extra garbage bags.
Don’t be afraid to give an hand, the volunteers working here wants to enjoy Shankra Festival like you!

First Aid – Theft - Security
We have a professional First Aid team, working at your service 24h/day. They can provide any kind of medical care.
Don’t hesitate to contact them if you need help or if you see someone who might need any help.
To keep yourself safe, drink plenty of water, eat well, sleep at least 6h per day, don’t make any abuses, keep balance and you will have an incredible experience.
We have a brave team of security. They are always ready to help, with a great sense of humor but they will take action if needed.
After the Festival
Sunday 21st of July 2019 at 6 PM music will stop, and you will have time untill Monday at noon to slowly pack your tents and leave.
Don’t forget to leave the Shankra Festival scene the same way you found it.
If you have time, plan a trip around Ticino.
Locarno offers you a beautiful scenery on the lake Maggiore surrounded by verdant vales Verzasca, Maggia and Onsernone, where you can find small coves where you can refresh and regenerate. Bellinzona’s castles are the best way to take a leap into the past.
Lugano and its surroundings on lake Ceresio to Malcantone… and Mendrisio where you can have a tipical meal in the grottos.
The summer season it is just began.. go in for it!
