RIVERSOUND FESTIVAL 26

River Sound Festival is a three-day intimate gathering of electronic music, art, and community. Nestled deep in the forest of Kernavė, by the Neris river, we come together to create a shared space shaped by sound, light, and nature.

Across day and night you will get to experience a carefully curated programme from hypnotic techno to ambient passages. Going beyond, our landscape of visual art, light installations, and workshops invites you to slow down, explore, and connect – both with yourself and others.

please LOOK AFTER OUR HOME + EACH OTHER

Since the very first days, we are building a community based on trust, responsibility, and mutual support. It’s our home that we care for year round and we love welcoming you all here.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and free here.

There is no audience here. Each person helps shape the atmosphere.

Respect boundaries, give people space and ask before assuming. No means no. Harassment, discrimination and abuse have no place at River Sound.

Please use the bins and toilets, keep cigarette butts off the ground, leave plants and trees alone and take all camping equipment home with you.

Across the festival grounds, you’ll find a variety of local vendors offering delicious, thoughtfully sourced meals to fuel your days and nights. Whether you’re after plant-based plates, hearty carnivore options, or something in between, there’s something for every appetite.

Thirsty? We’ve got you covered. A selection of bars will serve both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
