While camping is not part of OM Fest this year, our central location at The Green Room in Tyagarah means there is a smorgasbord of accommodation options very close by in the neighbouring towns, depending on your budget.

There are great camping options - try on the river in Brunswick Heads (Reflections Holiday Park) or at the Showgrounds in Mullumbimby. Or closer to Byron Bay, there is First Sun Holiday Park.

For options other than camping, you can look for Motels + Airbnb’s in Ocean Shores, South Golden Beach, New Brighton, Mullumbimby, Brunswick Heads and Byron Bay - depending if you’d like to stay right on the beach or a little bit in the hinterland.

YES! Parking is FREE - all you need to do is turn up and follow the signs to Om Fest and you will be directed to the paddock parking lot next to the Green Room.  Gates to parking grounds at the festival open at 9AM daily.  There will be parking attendants present each day od the festival to assist you with parking. Please make sure you give yourself plenty of time to park, walk the very short distance into the Festival grounds and settle in! We also suggest carpooling to help reduce congestion on the roads, and getting into the festival!

What is the best way to organise ride sharing / car pooling with others?

We’d love to see people car pooling into OM Fest if possible, to make for less cars entering the Festival site each day.  Regardless of whether you are local or from out of town, please join our Facebook event page where you can post if you are seeking or offering a lift and to coordinate with others.
