How does the system with reusable cups work?
We aim to create as little waste as possible, so we use reusable cups. You pay a €1 deposit for a cup. You can exchange it for a clean cup with your next order, and when you leave, you can return it to the information desk at the entrance/exit. You'll receive €0.50 back. The proceeds a.o. cover cup rental, transportation, and cleaning. This way, we keep Dutch Chili Fest a free festival for everyone!

Is the festival accessible to people in wheelchairs or with other disabilities?
Absolutely! We aim to be fully accessible to everyone. There's a special parking space opposite the Klokgebouw, and if it's occupied, the parking garage next to the building is the closest option. All halls are accessible indoors, and you can use the disabled toilets located in each hall. These are only accessible to visitors in need, so please check in at the information desk (at the entrance/exit.) to receive a key and ensure access to a clean toilet without queues!
