A vibrant and socially-conscious celebration of music and culture, the Pohoda Festival in Slovakia has become an important part of the cultural landscape of Central Europe. Its commitment to promoting sustainability and inclusivity has made it a leader in the festival community and a model for others to follow.
The annual music and arts festival takes place in the town of Trenčín, Slovakia and features a diverse range of musical acts, including both established and up-and-coming artists from Slovakia and abroad. In addition to music, the festival also features a wide range of other cultural events, including film screenings, theater performances, and art exhibitions.
This year it runs from 6-8 July, and will feature artists such as Jamie xx, Central Cee and Suzanne Vega covering everything from electropunk to chamber music. The current venue is Trenčín airport, outside the northern town of the same name.
The festival has implemented a number of initiatives to reduce its environmental impact, including recycling programs, the use of renewable energy sources, and the promotion of sustainable transportation options. It has also been praised for its commitment to promoting social justice and inclusivity. In recent years, the festival has organised workshops and events that promote gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and refugee support.
