All you need to know before coming to Põhjala factory

  • What is Brella and for what for should I use it? 📲

    Brella‘s comprehensive event platform is designed to place connections at the very core of the Impact Day festival experience!

  • What should I bring to the festival? 🧥

    Ticket – Bring your phone or other device with you to show the ticket sent through the Fienta environment. If possible, don’t print the ticket – let’s save nature!

    Clothes – Come in as you feel comfortable! The Põhjala Factory hangars may be a bit chilly for some, even after heating, so we recommend dressing in layers.

    If you bring something valuable with you, you can safely and free of charge put them in Omniva parcel lockers in the wardrobe area.

    Bring your own water bottle – There are no disposable cups in the festival area and you will not be able to get free water cups from the Impact Day area. The refill of your own water bottle is supported by Tallinn Water.

    Bring your own food box – We will be using Ringo‘s reusable dishes on-site at the festival, and we ask that you bring your own storage box to save any leftover food.

  • What is the best way to come to the festival? 🚶

    We encourage you to use public transport or micromobility devices!

    For our attendees traveling from abroad, we highly encourage utilizing the most environmentally-friendly transportation methods available. If you’re journeying from Sweden, Finland, Latvia, or Lithuania, consider taking a bus or ferry.

    When coming with LuxExpress bus you can use the code “IMPACTDAY24” to get 50% discount for your ride. The travel period is 09.10-14.10. The code is valid when buying a ticket on LuxExpress website.

    You can also use Tallink’s promocode “IMPACTDAY” to get -15% discount trip to your from or to Helsinki during 8-14 October. Use this link to book the tickets.

    These options are often more cost-effective. However, if they are not, please bring it to our attention by writing to Erkki (erkki@impactday.eu) – we’re committed to supporting your sustainable travel choices by compensating the difference.

    You can get to the venue by public transport using bus no. 32, 72, 73 or tram no. 1, 2, 5. The nearest stop is Marati. Thanks to our cooperation with Tallinn, you can take FREE public transport by using the QR code! You can use this all week long – from 7th October to 13th October.

    If you have a micromobility device (bicycle, scooter), you can park it next to the venue. We recommend you to enjoy the seaside Stroom pedestrian route to Kopli Street.

    • 🛴 Come with a Bolt scooter or bicycle: the code “BOLTXIMPACT” is valid from 10.-12.10.2024 in Tallinn. One user gets a 30% discount on 2 scooter rides (including bicycles) with a maximum value of €1.

    Warning: there are very few parking spaces (even twice as few as there have been during previous years), so you might get a few (or even more) steps on your activity monitor while walking from your car! There is a small car park around the Põhjala factory, but it is used by the workers and people who live around it. You may or may not have the opportunity to park on nearby streets – Impact Day doesn’t ensure that you can definitely park your car nearby. Therefore, we strongly advise you to come by public transport from both an environmental and a convenience perspective!

    Põhjala factory address: Marati 5, 11713 Tallinn.

What you need to consider at the festival?

  • How do I get myself the festival's badge? 🎟️

    As a first step, you can obtain a badge and lanyard at the registration desk using your ticket. To do this, you need to locate the “Tickets” email sent by Fienta containing the QR code of your ticket.

    With your badge, you will have easy access to move between the Impact Day halls and the outdoor area. It’s important to carry your badge and lanyard with you at all times – without it, re-entry to the festival won’t be possible.

    In collaboration with Ecodisain, we will be collecting the lanyards at the conclusion of the festival for reuse at future events. Therefore, before leaving the Põhjala Factory, kindly return your lanyard in the registration – together, we can contribute to environmental conservation!

    We also measure the impact and footprint of the whole festival! So when you pick up your ticket at the registration desk, we’ll ask you to go to a volunteer and fill in a short survey about how you got to the festival and what your carbon footprint is.

  • Where and how can I leave my outerwear and other things? 🧥

    You can leave your outerwear in an unguarded wardrobe. There are numbers above the hooks in the wardrobe, you cannot take a number with you. In the wardrobe, we ask you to take a picture of your number so that you don’t forget where you put your clothes.

  • Where can I get information about the schedule? 📜

    You can see the agenda on the Impact Day website. In addition, there are screens in the registration area where you can also check the schedule. We also recommend logging in early to the Brella environment – there you can see the schedule as well as ask questions, network, etc.

  • Where is everything located? 🗺️

  • What is the WiFi password? 🛜

    There is no password! Just join the “Impact Day Public” network.

  • What food can I buy on site? 🥣

    At Impact Day, we prioritize health and well-being, making it an alcohol and drug-free festival. In keeping with this spirit, we provide a range of refreshing alcohol-free beverages throughout the festival area.

  • What else should I consider? 💭

    Alcohol consumption and e-cigarette use are prohibited indoors on Impact Day. You can only smoke in the designated area. In the Smoking Corner there are Filaret smoke boxes for guests to drop their containers in. These will be used to collect smoke cones, and Filaret will recycle toxic smoke cones into eco-friendly compostable 3D printing material, reducing waste in an innovative way.

    For our part, we’ve done everything we can to ensure that you generate as little waste as possible during the festival. But if you do, please sort it accordingly – you have the option to separate 5 types of waste:

    • biowaste – food waste and paper towels,
    • packages – empty packages,
    • paper & cardboard – A4 papers, brochures and cardboard boxes,
    • deposit bottles & cans – only deposit with the correct sign,
    • mixed waste – all others that do not fit within the other categories.
