The story

Lovefest in Vrnjačka Banja

Lovefest is an electronic dance music festival held on the shores of Park Jezero in Vrnjacka Banja, a spa town in central Serbia. Founded in 2007, it has grown into one of the largest EDM gatherings in the Balkans, spreading across two August weekends with five stages, lakeside camping, and a pyrotechnics-heavy Fire Stage finale that draws tens of thousands of dance music fans each summer.

Vrnjacka Banja has been a spa town for well over a century, known for mineral springs that once drew Serbian royalty and convalescing visitors seeking quiet mountain air.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets Lovefest apart is its lakeside setting: the festival unfolds directly on Park Jezero, the artificial lake at the heart of Vrnjacka Banja, giving the grounds a resort-like backdrop rare among European EDM festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

Its five stages cover a wide range of electronic subgenres, but the signature moment is the nightly show on the Fire Stage, where large-scale pyrotechnics and fire cannons punctuate the headline sets

03

The city starts moving

In 2012 Serbia's Ministry of Youth and Sports recognized it as the country's largest youth festival, and it has since been shortlisted for European Festival Awards recognition

04

The water draws everyone in

At its peak in 2017 it drew roughly 100,000 attendees across the event, making it one of the region's biggest music gatherings, and campers can pitch tents along the lakeshore for the full run
