4 Best Not-To-Miss Festivals in Soca Valley!

In summer of course 😉

Be part of festival fever in Soca valley 🙂

Who doesn’t like music? I haven’t heard of any so far! Our Soca Valley is sometimes also called Festivalley 😉

Have you ever been on a festival, music festival for example? If the answer is yes, I have to tell you that also Slovenians like going to the festivals and we have some good (read the best) festivals known all over the world as well!

In Soca valley there are plenty of them and all have the same point – bring people from all over the world to show them the beautiful symbiosis between nature and music culture.

And of course they are just a few kilometers from Herbal Rooms if you will be later interesting in booking your accommodations ;).

Here I will write a little bit about 4 most popular festivals. But you can find more of them on the Soca Festivalley site!

Gora Rocka – Rock on the top of the Mountain

When: 24. 6. – 26. 6. 2016

Gora Rocka having place in Mt. Šentviška Gora is developing for 10 years already. Last year there were more than 10.000 party-willing visitors on this location and they are all convinced that more of that kind of events should take place in Slovenia. Wait no more and buy ticket!

MetalDays – 6 days of pure metal in Tolmin

When: 24. 7. – 30. 7. 2016

Lots of long hairs, cold beer, great food and metal! Organized in professional way, best for those who likes camping and metal music. 6 days of pure metal will not let you leave this place. You can already buy the tickets and start searching for the few days off at your work.

Sajeta Creative Camp – Music & Art on Soca riverbanks

When: 11. 7. – 17. 7. 2016

Anyone who likes alternative culture is welcome here. The festival consists of not-so-well-known musicians and all kinds of workshops from poetry to even sculpture making. Everything is organized in an artistic atmosphere on the riverbanks of Soca river near Tolmin usually for 3 or four days. If you are around – check it – you will not regret it!

Overjam Reggae Festival – Slow down a bit! And the beat 😉

When: 16. 8. – 19. 8. 2016

The location is the same – Sotočje, like locals named it is actually the real confluence of Tolminka and Soca, two rivers mentioned in almost any Slovenian tourist website. Like the festival name says it’s all about reggae – its atmosphere and very well known music groups.

Last but not least, while writing this blog post I came across brand new festival Halamoye dance festival. Check it out!
