Slovenia 🇸🇮 does music festivals THE RIGHT WAY 🫡
Comp-A-Tent found that 77% of camping tents used at festivals are abandoned which generates a whopping 900 tonnes of waste that can’t be recycled or repurposed.
In this video, I take you on a journey back to Slovenia’s Soča Valley—specifically Tolmin, one of the most beautiful and environmentally-conscious festival destinations in Europe. From Punk Rock Holiday and Tolminator to the Butik Festival, this small Alpine town proves that music, nature, and sustainability can go hand-in-hand.
💡 We’ll explore:
Why Tolmin is a bucket-list location for festival lovers
How Slovenian festivals prioritize eco-conscious practices like reusable cups & no generators
Tips for attending (camping, payment systems, waste management)
Why there’s nothing punk about trashing nature 🌱
