'''What?''' Hitchgathering is a DIY hitchhiking festival that has been organised since 2008. It usually happens in August and sees a bunch of hitchhikers congregate at a different spot in Europe. Usually the bulk of the food is obtained by dumpsterdiving and cooked on the fire; everything else is open to everybody's imagination. Usually there is swimming, music, games, story-telling, workshops... whatever you can come up with! Everybody is welcome without any need to announce your presence or register yourself anywhere beforehand. The main organisation platform is this wiki page; there is also the [https://signal.group/#CjQKIGgw5-FMZ1Sq67CL50LKCkZg-6i0KCDuS24S4uBDyb5IEhAmnOqOcim9eSMm-TJFozyg Hitchwiki Signal group]. Often there are pregatherings (see below) where people can meet beforehand and perhaps already start a caravan towards the main gathering.

Welcome to the Swedish jungle - a lone cabin in the woods with the obligatory lake next to it.
