What is Ozora’s approach to harm reduction for substances? At Boom they have the amazing Kosmicare, does such thing exist at Ozora? Or at least the possibility to buy reagent kits?

I know the law on substances is very different from Portugal to Hungary, but the safety of everyone is equally important so keen to understand the approach they take? Thanks!

EDIT: if nothing on site, is there anywhere in/close to Budapest where you can buy reagent kits?

Hi everyone- a question about mixing substances with antidepressants.
I’m in lexapro, risperidone (antipsychotic) and Wellbutrin for about 6 months now. does anyone have experience with mixing ssri/antipsychotics with various substances (mdma, mushrooms, changa)

Ozora is usually the only 2 weeks in the year thst I take drugs. I’m trying to decide whether to skip out entirely and not be part of the fun, take low doses and possibly put myself at risk/not feel anything and worry about side effects, or if I should come off them now to prep for ozora.

Anyone else on meds that had this situation before? Would be glad to hear what you do. Thanks

Hello everyone. I'm Italian and my wife is Brazilian. She came from Brazil and entered Italy on 18 may 2026 and the Italian authorities did not stamp her passport because we entered together in the EU citizen line. We plan to go to ozora by car from Italy. Brazilian citizens do not need a visa for the Schengen space but can't stay for more than 90 days. What if we get stop by police, how can she prove she is in the Schengen space no more than 90 days if she have no stamp on her passport? We will pass through Slovenia while driving. We have our Italian matrimony certificate, but I don't know if this document is enough in addition to her passport. Thanks all.

Hello beautiful souls. This is going to be the first time me and my wife are going to the festival. We have been to many festivals but nothing like Ozora. We plan to be there for the opening ceremony.

If we arrive in 27 July, how long it takes to enter the festival? I mean, it generally takes too much time to enter the festival, park our van, etc? I'm afraid we could lose the opening ceremony.

Is it safe to sleep inside our van whenever we want or after getting inside the festival we can't leave anymore?

How much money do you guys bring per day for 1 person that like to eat at the food stalls with some beers here and there?

Is it possible to find "magic candies" and "magic plants" inside the festival?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone,

I am from india, solo traveller.

My Hungary Schengen visa was recently refused under the reason:

"Justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided."

I'm planning to reapply and wanted to check if anyone here has successfully obtained a Schengen visa for attending Ozora Festival.

Did you mention Ozora as the main purpose of travel in your cover letter and itinerary? Did you submit the Ozora invitation letter and show the festival campsite as your main accommodation during your stay?

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through a similar application.

Hi everyone,

I applied for a Hungary Schengen tourist visa from India for travel from 25 July to 10 August 2026. My itinerary included Budapest/Hungary, Bratislava, Vienna and Prague. I also submitted an invitation letter and ticket for O.Z.O.R.A. Festival in Hungary, which mentions entry and camping rights.

My visa was refused by the Consulate General of Hungary, Mumbai. Only refusal reason No. 2 was ticked: “Justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided.”

No other reasons were ticked — no issue was marked regarding funds, travel insurance, documents, or intention to leave Schengen.

Documents submitted:

Cover letter

Day-wise itinerary

Flight reservation: BLR–Budapest and Prague–BLR

Hotel/hostel bookings for Budapest, Bratislava, Vienna and Prague

Travel insurance

Bank statements

Salary slips

ITR acknowledgements

Employment/appraisal documents

O.Z.O.R.A. invitation letter and ticket confirmation

I did not submit an employer NOC/leave approval letter.

I’m confused about what to do next. Should I:

Appeal the Hungary refusal?

Reapply through Hungary with a stronger itinerary and clearer Ozora camping/accommodation explanation?

Apply through Austria instead by making Austria the main destination?

Has anyone faced a similar rejection from Hungary, especially for a festival-based trip? Any advice on how to strengthen the reapplication would really help.

Thank you.

Has anyone traveled to Europe with a THC pen in their carry-on ? I've done it within Mexico before, but never internationally. I'll be flying from Chicago to Budapest.

Hey everyone! 😊
I’m coming all the way from Mexico and heading to Ozora solo this year.

Does anyone know the easiest way to get there from Budapest? I was told there used to be a festival shuttle from the airport, but I can’t seem to find any info about it on the website.

Also, if anyone is heading there around July 24th and wouldn’t mind adopting a friendly Mexican backpacker for the trip, I promise I’m low maintenance and come with good vibes. 😆🌵🎒

Thanks! See you in the fields! ✨

Hello everyone, I live in the European Union and I just lost my ID card. My passport expired 2 years ago, and I'm worried I won't get a new one in time because the administration here is so slow.

​Do you think I can still get into the festival with my expired passport if the new one doesn't arrive fast enough ?

I am coming from the us with my dad he is very versed in this community and this is my first show i am 18 and looking for people my age to kick it with. I’m coming with super limited gear and looking for any advice to help get by. I’ve heard stealing is a problem I’m Looking for any tips regarding that. I’m from Colorado and looking for new friends to make. soon after ozora I will be going to Spain for the eclipse if anybody knows any festivals in that area for the eclipse or just cool spots to stay

Bought tickets on a whim. I’m a pretty seasoned raver but never been to a festival outside the USA. No stranger to camping at festivals either. Anything particular I should know before my trip. Also if anyone wants to meet up, ill be traveling alone so would love a buddy.
