Where we can sleep?
Shayana is open air festival, and in May it can be quite breezy at night in Latgale! You can sleep and replenish your forces in the tent that you should bring by yourself. Please take everything necessary for comfortable sleepover in nature, most important being the sleeping bag. If you are not used to spending the night in forest, you can rent good tourist equipment at our friends in tourist club "Snowdrop" (Daugavpils)
Isn't it too cold in May at night?
Statistics tell us that temperature rarely drops below +6 degrees Celsius. Make sure you have appropriate clothes. We will keep you warm using positive energy and kindness, but this is not always enough. There will be big campfires on the territory, where you can warm up and drink some hot aromatic tea or herbal infusions.
But even better is to use true Shayanic way to get warm - go the Energy Field stage and rock the dancefloor!
