Lovefest is a pulsating summer music festival that throbs with electronic dance music (EDM) every first weekend in August. Held in the scenic Serbian resort town of Vrnjačka Banja, the festival has evolved from a local youth party to a major international attraction.
From Humble Beginnings to Festival Giant:
- Founded in 2007 as a one-off event called "The Love Bridge Party," Lovefest quickly gained traction and transformed into a premier music event in central Serbia.
- By 2012, Serbia's Ministry of Youth and Sports recognized Lovefest as the country's biggest youth festival.
- Just a year later, the festival received international acclaim with a nomination for "Best Festival Abroad" at the UK Festival Awards.
Lovefest's signature features include:
- Multiple Stages: The festival boasts five distinct stages, each catering to a specific vibe. The massive Fire Stage takes center stage, featuring headliners and pyrotechnic displays. The H2O Stage offers poolside parties with creative water features. The intimate 99 Stage provides a club-like atmosphere, while the Energy Stage keeps the energy high.

- Massive Crowds: The festival's popularity has soared, with attendance reaching a staggering 100,000 in 2017.
