When night falls over the Vrbas River, few places in the region look quite like Kastel Fortress. Ancient stone walls, an open sky above, and the river flowing just steps away have long created an atmosphere that makes every concert here feel a little different. This summer, that atmosphere is gaining a new chapter in the festival.

If there is a river that can change its character several times within just a few hours, more than some cities do in a century, it is the Vrbas. Fast, wild, quiet, then gentle again - all within a single flow. It begins as a mountain stream carving through rock, and ends as a calm river nourishing the plains. Between those two points, the Vrbas draws landscapes that stay with you.
