The annual e-Lake Festival in Echternach opens its gates to revellers at 6pm on Friday, and the Pipapo service will again be on site to keep guests safe.

Pipapo will be present at this year’s festival with three stands, focusing on drug safety and on-site support. These include an information booth with materials and gadgets promoting safer drug use; a mobile drug-checking service for analysing substances; and the Lila-Point, first introduced in 2024.

Director Carlos Paulos explains:

“The Lila-Point is a fixed location for anyone feeling distressed, experiencing a violation of boundaries, or witnessing aggression or discrimination. It’s staffed by our awareness team, and we also have roaming teams throughout the site who can step in when needed.”

Festival-goers can also approach the Lila-Point with concerns about needle-spiking or other drug-related incidents.
