If you would like to come to Rattafest by bus, we have prepared a pre-registration form for this purpose. You can pre-register for buses on both the Tallinn-Värska-Tallinn route and the Tartu-Värska-Tartu route. Depending on how many interested people there are, we can inform you in advance how many buses will depart and what the final ticket price will be. The more interested people there are, the more friendly the ticket price we can make.
Your bikes and larger packages will be picked up from Tartu/Tallinn by a separate truck next to the bus. This is so that you all fit nicely on the bus. When starting from Tallinn/Tartu, you need to put your package at the “Treski” or “Värska” sign, depending on whether your package is going directly to the Treski campsite or you want to pick it up at the starting point in Värska Singing Ground. The packages will be lifted out of the truck accordingly. PS! We recommend that you mark your packages and bikes with a sign with your name and phone number on it.
To purchase a bus ticket, we will send you an email with a payment link through which you can make the payment. Access to the bus will be based on the name of the buyer who purchased the bus ticket/s. The bus will depart from Tallinn on 15.05 at 7:00 at the latest, from Tartu at 8:45 at the latest. More information will be sent to your email.

Pre-registration lasts until March 31, 2026. Additional questions: info@rattafest.ee See you in Setomaa!
If you are coming by car, please set the destination in your navigation to ‘’Värska laululava’’. Once there, you will need to follow the signs that will direct you to the parking lot. A security guard will be waiting for you in the parking lot, from whom you can purchase a parking ticket for 15€. After payment, you will receive a parking ticket, which must be placed in a visible place on the dashboard. When entering the parking lot, please follow the instructions of the traffic controller, as the parking lot has to accommodate a large number of cars.
**Please have exact cash for the parking ticket.
PS: Please note that there may be a longer than usual waiting line when approaching/entering the parking lot. So please leave home with some time to spare. The longest waiting line is between 10:00-12:00. Allow up to 30-40 minutes for parking and getting your event wristbands, etc. The official start is at 12:00. At the venue, you will first need to park your car and then redeem your event ticket/tickets in the registering point. You can then get ready for the trail and, if you wish, take larger packages to the truck (its marked at the site), which will take them directly to the Treski campsite. The truck is marked with the yellow Rattafest flag.
If you are a support vehicle and you want to send the people in the car on their way and you see a traffic jam ahead leading to the parking lot, then our recommendation is to temporarily park in the parking lot of the Värska Cultural Center or at the Värska Coop. From there, the riders have 2km to the starting point directly on the road. This way we avoid creating additional traffic jams so that cars that want to get to the parking lot can get there faster.

You can park your accompanying vehicle in a separate parking lot at the Treski campsite. You can purchase a parking ticket for this from the Värska lauluvala registering point. If there are heavy traffic jams at the starting point, you can purchase a parking ticket in advance using a separate payment link, which will appear on this page no later than January 1, 2026. You can get a parking ticket using the payment link by telling the security guard your name at the Treski campsite.
*The parking ticket does not include entrance to the event area. For this, you have to purchase an event pass separately.
