Opening hours of the Colours of Ostrava 2025 festival grounds:
Absolutely yes. As part of the Colours Without Barriers project, we make it easier for visitors with reduced mobility to enjoy the festival without worries, allowing them to fully experience the music and other programs in the barrier-free area of Dolní Vítkovice.
For several years now, our standard services have included a discounted ticket price for holders of ZTP and ZTP/P disability cards, free admission for an accompanying person with a ZTP/P card, special viewing platforms, a Colours Without Barriers Chill-out Zone, barrier-free transportation within the city of Ostrava, and the option to book a trained assistant.
Of course. Entertainment for our young visitors will be provided by the ČEZ Family Park, which was created with the support of Nadace ČEZ. Children can look forward to a packed schedule of music and theater performances, as well as sports and creative workshops.
Parents of infants will find full support at the Nursing Tent. Throughout the entire festival, it will offer a peaceful space for relaxation and care for the little ones. Microwaves, kettles, and—last but not least—hygiene essentials provided by Procter & Gamble will be available.
Families can also take advantage of childcare services provided by trained professionals full of energy. This service is available from the festival gates opening until 8 PM. Childcare is subject to a fee of 100 CZK per hour.
Additionally, children under 140 cm in height get free entry to the festival.
No, they are not. Although we’re big fans of pets, we kindly ask you to leave your four-legged friends at home. Dogs are not allowed in the festival area. The only exception is for assistance dogs for people with physical disabilities.
Besides a good mood, don’t forget to bring, for example:
We recommend leaving valuables like jewelry, laptops, cameras, or expensive mobile phones at home.
This year’s Colours of Ostrava will once again be completely cashless. Payments throughout the festival grounds can be made using standard payment cards such as VISA or Mastercard, as well as via phones or smartwatches. We will not be accepting cash at all – not even at food stalls. Several previous editions have confirmed that card payments are the fastest and most convenient option, even at a music festival.
For those of you who don’t own a payment card or happen to forget yours at home, we’ve arranged the option to purchase a prepaid card. These cards will be valid only during the festival and exclusively within the festival grounds.
Have you lost something during the festival? All found items are collected at the info point in front of the main gate. If you have lost or found something, stop by, and we’ll be happy to assist you. After the festival, all lost and found items will be handed over to the Vítkovice District Office. The transfer will take place one week after the festival gates close.
To prevent losing your personal belongings, you can use the 24/7 storage service located at the main entrance to the Dolní Vítkovice area.
For easier navigation within the festival area, we recommend downloading the Colours of Ostrava app to your smartphone, where you will find an interactive map. If you prefer a physical version of the map, you will soon be able to print it here.
At the moment, the capacity for temporary workers is already full, and we are not looking for new staff. However, if you would still like to be part of the festival atmosphere, we are always happy to welcome volunteers! Join us and experience the festival from a different perspective.
Applications for stall sales for this year’s event are already closed. Thank you for your interest! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. stanky@colours.cz
Due to the requirements of the main headliners, the use of cameras and video equipment during the festival is subject to strict regulations.
Photo
At the festival, photography with professional cameras is only permitted for accredited photographers who are working for selected media outlets (marked as PHOTO and VIP PHOTO). Visitors are only allowed to bring non-professional automatic cameras—compact cameras that cannot be used with an external flash. The main distinguishing feature is the lens size: compact camera vs. DSLR with a large protruding or detachable lens. During headliner performances, photography is strictly prohibited. This measure is in place due to contractual agreements and restrictions set by some performers, particularly the headliners.
Video
Recording video or using any other format is strictly prohibited. The only exception is for pre-accredited film crews. Anyone who violates these rules may disrupt the performance of certain artists.

All roads lead to Colours! It’s up to you which mode of transport you choose. You can travel by:
The festival area in Dolní Vítkovice is close to the city center, so for environmental reasons, we recommend using public transport, which will have increased service during the festival. The festival tickets are already on sale.
The official transportation partner of the festival is Dopravní podnik Ostrava a.s.
Detailed information about transport in Ostrava will be updated in May 2025.
Unfortunately, parking at the festival site is not possible. We therefore recommend leaving your car at home and either walking from the city center or using public transport or Nextbike shared bikes. The venue in Dolní Vítkovice is easily accessible, and tram and bus services will be reinforced during the festival.
You can park at the official parking lot at Jiřího z Poděbrad Square. However, its capacity is limited, so we recommend not delaying your purchase.
We recommend purchasing tickets for Colours of Ostrava online – it’s simple and convenient to do so in advance. Online sales will continue throughout the festival. The ticket office at the main entrance to the Dolní Vítkovice area will be available only for holders of ZTP and ZTP/P disability cards.
Only buy tickets through the official Colours of Ostrava website. We do not recommend purchasing from online marketplaces or resale platforms – this way, you can avoid issues with ticket authenticity and disappointment at the festival entrance.
