2-in-1 Festival
Dockyard Festival ADE joins forces again with her fairytale sister, Mystic Garden Festival, in a marriage of dark and light; industrial vs. fairyland! Step into Dockyard’s concrete jungle and roam through Mystic Gardens enchanted realm on the same day.
Once you’ve entered through the main entrance, you can wander back and forth between Dockyard Festival and Mystic Garden Festival - you don't need to choose one or the other! You only need one entrance ticket (whether it's for Dockyard or Mystic Garden Festival) to visit both worlds.

Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.

Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!

Yes, the Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events. Even if a festival event is sold out, you can still access the event with your ADE Pro Pass wristband. During ADE there are over 500 festival events and hundreds more cultural and conference events you can enter with the wristband. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for ADE Pro wristband holders. This means that, for some of the more crowded events, you have to arrive early to ensure attendance. Once capacity is reached, ADE Pro holders will be let into the event on a one in-one-out basis.

We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other. We expect an open attitude from our visitors towards other guests, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion and age. If you see or experience any unwanted attention, harassment or behavior of any kind that makes you uncomfortable, please speak out and notify staff.

Please keep in mind: we love being your annual host, therefore, we would like to ask you to enjoy yourself responsibly.
