Garbicz Festival

A five-day electronic music gathering in woodland beside a lake near the village of Garbicz in western Poland, under two hours from Berlin.

Each dance floor has its own character: hard techno among the trees at Wald, house on the meadow at Wiese, deeper minimal sounds at Buk, and an ambient floor meant for listening rather than dancing. Around them sit a wine bar with karaoke, a junkyard stage, cabaret and clown shows, and Lichtung, a quieter zone with banya sauna rituals, tea and massage. It is strictly adults only, cashless and glass-free, and cameras stay away from the floors. Tickets are released in phases and sell out months ahead.

Hedonism with a conscience, in a forest by a lake, for adults only.
