How It Works

FestMate brings festival planning, community conversations, marketplace listings, stays and local services into one place. Start by choosing your current festival in the navigation bar. Tick “Remember my choice” when you want FestMate to keep that selection on your device.

Use the platform in four steps

Select a festival or browse all festivals.
Create an account to contact members and manage your activity.
Browse or create marketplace, stay and service listings with clear information.
Agree arrangements carefully and report anything suspicious or unsafe.

Stay in control

Check official festival information before travelling, protect your personal and payment details, and use public meeting points for collections or meet-ups. FestMate helps people connect but does not replace organiser guidance, professional advice or emergency services.

Join FestMate

Trade Safely

Use private messages, inspect items, verify ticket transfers with the official provider, meet in public places and use an approved payment method.

Stay Connected

Install the offline-ready web app for cached pages. Browser chat needs a network connection; Bluetooth relaying requires the compatible native app.
