general
Our bars will provide you with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. You are welcome to bring your own drinks to the festival grounds, but please refrain from bringing glass bottles, which pose a safety hazard and are difficult to dispose of. Our collectives are partially financed by the proceeds from the bars.
There will be food stalls on the grounds offering a variety of vegetarian dishes. To protect the environment, we have decided not to sell meat products on the grounds of the Between Mountains Festival.
The Between Mountains Festival is a festival in the making.
We are eager to hear your thoughts and look forward to your feedback, constructive criticism and, of course, praise. Just send us an email at:

Please leave your dogs at home. Assistance and therapy dogs are permitted on the festival grounds, but must be kept on a leash at all times.
The Between Mountains Festival takes place at the Holdenweid Impulse Centre.
Holdenweid in Hölstein, Baselland, is surrounded by extensive forests, meadows and pastures. After decades of standing empty, the abandoned walls of the former psychiatric homes have been brought back to life over the past year or so thanks to the operation to Impulszentrum Holdenweid.
The spacious infrastructure offers plenty of room for several open-air stages. The building also has numerous smaller and larger indoor spaces, each with its own unique and inspiring atmosphere. They are ideal for hosting a variety of concerts and performances.
