About the festival:

Started in 1994 as a summer art academy, the event soon developed into a successful pop culture festival and took the name, Poolbar. People from home and abroad come to discover a world of new music and stars, as well as an atmosphere that guarantees zest for life, extraordinary variety of programs and exciting people.



A special quality of the Poolbar Festival lies in its unusual combinations: International meets local, stars meets young artists, indie rock meets hip hop meets jazz, DJ meets Poetry Slam. The festival thrives on its diversity, moderate pricing, and promotion for the regional scene.
