Grape Festival

Slovakia / August 9 – 10, 2024

Description

Grape Festival was founded with the ambition to organize a middle-sized, European-level festival for the young generation with the dramaturgy focused on the global music scene. Both ecological awareness and visual presentation play a huge role in the festival. The multi-genre event takes place at an airport, and it lasts from Friday to Sunday morning without a pause. The festival area doesn’t close and includes a tent village.

6000 visitors attended the first year of the festival; at the moment, the capacity is at 30,000 attendees. More than 100 artists (with approx. 30 being foreign) perform on seven stages. Two of these are dedicated exclusively to the techno/house and hip-hop genres.

The festival was founded in 2010 by a group of friends. The original idea was to create a small-sized festival for approximately 2000 people in the pleasant environment of the town Pezinok known for its tradition of wine production. That’s where the name of Grape Festival comes from.

Successes:
2012: European Festival Awards, Top 10 shortlist – Best Small Festival
2014: EFA, Top 10 shortlist – Best Small Festival
2019: Winner – Best Slovak Festival 2019
