The story

Castle Kolpa Music Festival in Fara/Kostel

Castle Kolpa Music Festival is a summer camping festival held since 2018 along the Kolpa River in the village of Fara, in the municipality of Kostel. It draws around 10,000 attendees for a genre-mixed program of rock, pop, rap, alternative and electronic music with a strong eco-friendly, riverside camping focus.

Tucked into the far southern reaches of Slovenia, where the Kolpa River traces the border with Croatia through some of the country's least-developed forest country, the village of Fara in the municipality of Kostel hosts a festival that has grown, since its 2018 founding, into one of the region's larger summer camping gatherings.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Castle Kolpa built its identity around the Kolpa River itself, a border waterway between Slovenia and Croatia known for exceptionally clean water, letting attendees combine riverside camping and swimming with a multi-stage music program in one of Slovenia's least developed, most forested corners

02

The mystery stays covered

Since its 2018 launch the Fara-based Festival Castle has grown into one of the country's larger summer camping festivals, bringing roughly 10,000 visitors from across Europe to a rural municipality otherwise known for remoteness and dense forest cover

03

The city starts moving

Its programming spans rock, pop, rap, alternative and electronic acts rather than specializing narrowly, broadening its audience beyond a single music scene, while eco-friendliness remains a core organizing value throughout the grounds
