The Location
This year’s festival will be taking place at the National Tennis Center West Square, which is located by the west side of the Olympic Forest Park. The venue is super easy to get to, situated right by Line 8’s Lincuiqiao station’s C2 south exit (林萃桥站 C2南), which is a mere 35 minutes by subway from Sanlitun.
The venue has ample open space to relax on, so why not bring chairs, picnic blankets, or perhaps even a tent so that you can make your own little base camp for the day! The location is pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friends to join in the fun as well.
