Are you wondering where you can stay overnight?
From September 9th to 12th, 2027, Altstätten will become the vibrant center of Swiss folk music. Various accommodation options are available around the festival for those traveling with their band, friends, or family.
Particularly attractive: Altstätten itself offers affordable group accommodations within walking distance of the festival grounds, as well as a spacious camping area with a shuttle bus directly to the festival village. At the same time, numerous accommodations in the surrounding region offer a convenient alternative thanks to good public transport connections.
Camping area with shuttle to the festival village
A spacious, supervised and monitored camping area is being created on the common land on the outskirts of Altstätten for the EVMF 2027. Whether with a tent, caravan, campervan or motorhome – different needs will be met here.
Showers and toilets are available for your comfort. A shuttle bus connects the campsite directly to the festival village. This allows you to leave your vehicle parked during the festival while still being easily and conveniently right in the heart of the EVMF action.

Affordable and located in the heart of Altstätten: Mass accommodation
Those who want to experience the festival up close can find simple and affordable places to stay in civil defense shelters and gyms located right next to Altstätten’s historic district. The accommodations are equipped with beds or mattresses, as well as showers and restrooms, and are staffed throughout the entire festival weekend. The festival grounds are within easy walking distance. This makes the mass accommodations a convenient and affordable option for music groups, clubs, and other groups to stay right in Altstätten.
Overnight stays in the mass accommodation can be booked directly when registering for participation .
Hotels and guesthouses in the region
Hotel and inn accommodations in Altstätten itself are limited. At the same time, the region surrounding Altstätten is well-connected. Accommodations on Lake Constance, in St. Gallen, in the Appenzell region, in Werdenberg, or toward the Sargans region offer attractive options for staying overnight in the area while still being able to reach the EVMF quickly. At this time, we particularly recommend checking out the hotels in the Middle and Lower Rhine Valley (Widnau, Diepoldsau, St. Margrethen).
Thanks to good public transportation connections, Altstätten is easily accessible from the surrounding regions. For the EVMF, additional nighttime service will be provided to Gais, Buchs, and St. Margrethen. The exact routes and schedules will be announced at a later date.
