FOOD
For lunch, there will be several food trucks at campus Lichtenbergschule where you can buy small meals and coffee.
Darmstadt’s tap water is suitable for consumption and so we would like to encourage you to always refill your own drinking bottles or purchased reusable beverage bottles at the taps of the course venues, the festival office or the performance venues. Bottles can also be refilled in the city centre in shops with a blue 💧”Refill Station” sign.
