SUN FESTIVAL 2017

Foto-report

The festival downsized big time compared to 2014.

The turnout didn’t exceed 3,000 peeps. Back in the day, it used to draw 12-14,000 party animals from across the globe.

But the vibes only got better. The real die-hards and most colorful trance scene reps stuck around.

Smiles, light, and joy filled the space.

The grounds stretched out for a few hectares in the valley, with different zones from a kids’ area to love meditation healing spots, and even a church)) Their own little chapel (mini temple) with Jesus and all.

The fest was really pushing the organic food theme, collaborating with a Hungarian agricultural commune. They actually sold organic produce grown by that same commune on the premises. The Krishna devotees were giving out grub for free. That’s unheard of at trance fests – we’ve never seen party people being fed for nada anywhere else in the world))

The main dancefloor was rocking the cream of the Goan trance scene this year. The musical curation was on point. Uplifting day-trance played during the day, switching to psy in the evening as the sun went down.

Maybe a couple of DJs were off-theme, but overall the lineup was smartly arranged, each act having their slot.

Basically, the organizers’ idea behind this project was to let everything flow as it flows)) and grow as it grows, without obstructing the natural course of events.

That approach works in some aspects, but in my opinion, they could’ve ironed out a few kinks.

They could’ve placed more trash cans around and paid more attention to organizational details, like getting a separate generator for the vendors so it doesn’t kill power to the main floor, and so on.

But those are minor gripes compared to the amazing celebration that took place.

You let those little things slide, especially seeing how tight the budget was, yet the crew gave 200% to make the most of what they had.

It was a awesome, soulful fest with very reasonable pricing, a stellar atmosphere and solid bookings.

We definitely recommend checking it out and having a grand old time in that scenic location.
