The Trolls & Légendes festival takes place in Mons, at the Lotto Mons Expo. The festival combines a large market, animations, thematic areas (games, conferences, guests, exhibitions, etc.) and concerts, with an organization designed to allow you to enjoy the event for a day... or over the entire weekend at your own pace.

The majority of the festival takes place indoors (Lotto Mons Expo). Some animations, food trucks, and part of the artisan market are outdoors.
The Main Stage (evening concerts) is indoors. The Discovery Stage (daytime concerts in the festival area) is outdoors.
Friday is dedicated to evening concerts.
On Saturday and Sunday, access to the festival area is from 10 AM to 7 PM. Access to the Main Stage for evening concerts starts at 6 PM, depending on the type of ticket.
At the entrance, you receive a wristband, which allows you to exit and return during the day.
A "Festival" ticket grants access to the festival area (animations, market, etc.) for the chosen day and to the concerts on the Discovery Stage during the day.
Evening concerts (starting at 6 PM) require a "Concert" ticket or a Pass.
On Friday, there is no "Festival" ticket: it is an evening of concerts.
Mons train station is about 500 m on foot from the site. Note: there are generally no more trains after the concerts. If you stay late, plan for accommodation, a car, carpooling, or a taxi.
For parking, there is a lot of traffic during the day, but the area has many parking lots, especially near the nearby shopping center. In the evening, it is generally easier.
On site, you will find a varied offer (food trucks, various price ranges). It is not allowed to bring your own food into the festival grounds.
However, thanks to the wristband, you can exit and return, and a shopping center about 100 m away offers a wide range of options for eating outside the site if you wish.
For specific diets: depending on the stands, there may be options, but they vary. If you opt for a VIP Pass, the VIP meals (3 courses) include a gluten-free option and a vegetarian option.
A camping site is offered (with mandatory camping ticket, not included in the Pass). Access from Friday evening to Monday morning, tents only; vehicles, caravans, and motorhomes are prohibited.
Showers are available at the camping site for free. A breakfast may be offered on site (paid, modest price not yet defined).
Otherwise, Mons offers many solutions (hotels, apartments, accommodations). To save time, check our page Where to sleep? with the two options: camping and map of nearby accommodations.
There is no specific PRM rate, but a PRM assistance service is available on site to help and answer questions (access, circulation, specific needs).
