FAQ

  • What is Surfana Festival?

    Surfana started as a surf school in Zandvoort but quickly grew into a collective.

     

    Our philosophy is to live happily, fully enjoy life, and share this lifestyle with others. We bring this to life during Surfana Festival. A weekend full of love and passion for the good life, celebrating our way of living and inspiring others to choose a life based on happiness.

    Surfana Festival takes place at Camping De Lakens, Zeeweg 60, 2051 EC, Overveen. Right in the dunes, close to the sea!

  • When is Surfana Festival?

    Surfana Festival 2025 will take place on September 12, 13, and 14!

  • What type of vehicle is the campervan ticket valid for?

    Campervan tickets are only valid for campervans (vehicles that are not towed or carried by another vehicle).

    With a weekend ticket, you can bring your own food and drinks to consume at your tent or campervan. Cooking is only allowed on small camping gas stoves (no open fires or barbecues). Please don't bring your own food into the festival grounds, where you'll find plenty of food and drinks available.

A maximum of six people are allowed per campervan, each with a full weekend ticket.

    A campervan ticket does not include festival access.

     

    You need to purchase a separate festival weekend ticket for each person in addition to your campervan ticket.

     

    Day tickets and multi day combo tickets are not valid in combination with a campervan ticket.
