foresterra festival

a multi-day psychedelic music and arts gathering set in the forested highlands of gorski kotar, run by two croatian collectives, forestation and egzoterra, whose combined work spans a decade. the festival grew out of their shared history promoting psytrance underground culture and debuted in its current form in 2024, winning an audience choice award as best new regional festival before returning for a second edition in 2025. it runs across two stages and incorporates fire performances, art installations, workshops, yoga, highline, and hiking alongside the music.

the main stage programming covers fullon, forest, darkpsy, and twilight, with a second stage rounding out the format. the site sits near lakes, caves, and mountain terrain, and camping is on-site with fresh alpine nights typical of the location.
