Music festival mint. Why I love the wild mint festival. Where will the Wild Mint festival take place, how to get there

But I, however, have something to compare with. I like the new venue near Tula, I like the selection of music and performers, I like the Green Age venue, I like the fact that the festival is very cool with children...

You can read impressions from last year. How I was going and what to take with me can be read under the “festival” tag. I’ll tell you now how it will be this year.

As I already wrote, Wild Mint is a three-day outdoor festival in a field. Living in the field is not at all necessary; you can stay in boarding houses or even “drive in” from Tula. But the atmosphere there is so amazing that I’m in favor of the tents with both hands. So,

- Where to live?
You can live, as last year, in a family or fun camp. The family room is correspondingly quieter than the fun room. Among the innovations this year is a room for mother and child, where you can feed, change clothes and even wash the child. Those. There will be a separate shower for families with children

- What to listen to?
This year's main performers were placed in a tree (see picture above). There are three scenes, like last year. The scenes are located side by side, but arranged in such a way that the sound of one does not cover the other. You can move between them very comfortably; you can see the stage even from a tent or cafe if you wish. Everything is allowed)
I go mainly to Spleen, Alai Oli, Jukebox, Bricks, Radio Kamerger, Casualty and Iowa.

- What else to do?
There are a lot of activities held at the festival - yoga, sports competitions, lectures, film screenings, etc. Even balloon there is, and you can ride on it. Children have their own separate program, their own house and the opportunity to leave the child with an animator. Some activities are paid, some are free, but the price is all reasonable.

- How to get there?
You can get there by train to Tula, then transfer to a bus, or on special festival buses. And there are always many options to travel with fellow travelers in a personal car. Last year I drove myself, I had a place, I took two people. Wild Mint has its own circle of fans who communicate very actively on forums in social networks- there you can discuss literally everything and find someone to go with and even someone to live with.
I'll go on Friday late in the evening, but I haven't decided yet.

- What should I take with me?
Good mood) I already wrote above what to take with you if you are traveling with a child. In general, the things that came in most handy last year were a lot of dry clothes and a thermos, but the list is a standard camp-and-travel list. Hot water, food and medical assistance are available on the festival grounds. There is even food in a field kitchen format, where you can eat on a super budget.
Beer is sold on site; alcohol is not allowed.

- What if it rains?
And he will) Any wild mint fan knows that wild mint is equal to bad weather. In fact, this year the forecast promises hot sun, we'll see. I can say that last year there was a torrential downpour and thunderstorm, and it was still great. So the rain is not a hindrance to the music.

- How to save money on buying a ticket?
Until June 20, there is a group purchase of a ticket; at the moment this is the most profitable option. The festival’s partners also hold many promotions where you get a ticket at a discount or as a gift, all of this is also in the festival group
