Music
Techno, house, disco, bass, IDM, ambient and experimental music, with DJ sets alongside live and hybrid formats — from sunset into the small hours.
Festival 2027
Set between a forest, a lake and two former workers’ holiday resorts in north-eastern Poland, SFORA brings together the country’s queer, electronic and alternative scenes. For several days around the summer solstice, it transforms the landscape into a temporary world built around music, intimacy and collective freedom.

Performance & art
Performance, physicality and experimentation are not additions to the DJ programme, but essential parts of the festival. Holiday cabins become galleries, and the film programme brings screenings of independent cinema.
Workshops
Voguing, contemporary dance, music production, poetry workshops, yoga and relaxation sessions. Together with performance and cinema they make up the daytime programme, where you can move between dancing, listening, learning, performing and resting — no form of participation counts more than another.
For a few days beside Lake Rajgrodzkie, this community already exists. We just open the gate.
For one weekend the forest, the lake and the old holiday resort are ours — at sunset, the line between stage, landscape and crowd disappears.
What the artists say
“SFORA brings me back to something I rarely experience now: a sense of teenage freedom, curiosity and genuine community. It feels like summer camp — days spent outdoors, unexpected friendships and completely losing track of time.”
“As a DJ, I feel encouraged to experiment and take musical risks, and the crowd always responds with excitement.”
“I have never been to another festival where I could genuinely rest while still dancing my ass off. And the sound system — goddamn, it sounds good.”
“It felt like a small utopia. There was no barrier between artists and the crowd. I came home feeling socially recharged rather than drained.”
