On this page, you can sign up for transportation for the parade, an excursion to the Amethyst Mine and the World Championship categories!
If possible, we ask that you arrive to the parade by your own car or a shared-ride, so that we can ensure the availability of seats on transportation for those who need it the most.

If you plan on camping in tent or caravan during the competitions, book a tent or caravan spot.
Please note, we want to know the name of each competitor and therefore you must register each competitor individually, thank you!
