The Free Earth Festival stands as a hallmark event in Europe, distinguished as the continent’s sole beach festival of its kind. Our journey, rooted deeply in the vibrant culture of the 1990s, is fueled by a commitment to revive and enrich the original story.

Born from a vision that simmered for years, the festival’s definitive concept took shape in 2013, setting the stage for the launch of a Greek Open Air Festival. This event was envisioned to rekindle the trust and support of both Greek and international audiences, a dream that turned into reality in 2013 after overcoming numerous challenges faced by previous organizers.

Our festival is a symphony of visionaries, artists, musicians, event coordinators, managers, designers, promoters, technicians, craftsmen, and volunteers. Together, we form a cohesive team that introduces a sustainable model in Greece for the first time, blending creativity, joy, and respect. This amalgamation of local and international talents fosters a unique, collective journey toward a Free Earth.

Initially hosted in Ancient Olympia, Peloponnese—the legendary land of Hercules and the cradle of the Olympic Games—our festival’s venue boasted a natural shade and was bathed by the serene waters of the Pinios River. Starting modestly, we focused on cultivating a growth that was organic and aligned with our cultural and community ethics, primarily appealing to the Greek audience. Our humble beginnings in 2013 saw a gathering of 1,000 people, expanding to 1,500 attendees in the following year, with international guests making up a third of the festival-goers.

The first editions featured a main stage and a chill-out area, both equipped with superior sound systems and adorned with stunning decorations. This setup, alongside an eclectic lineup, marked the inception of our ever-evolving festival concept.

After hosting two successful editions, we paused in 2015 to strategize and refine our approach. This period of reflection led to the transition of the Free Earth Festival to a biennial event, the reformation of our production team, and the thematic enhancement of our music stages. Our ambition to create a truly unique and eco-sustainable event prompted us to relocate the festival to Northern Greece, thereby establishing the first and only European Beach Festival.

In 2016, the festival found its new home in North Greece at Kypsa Beach, Kassandra, attracting approximately 3,000 attendees. This move, coupled with our partnership with Parvati Records, introduced three music stages and extended our festivities with official pre and after-parties, significantly transforming the festival’s atmosphere and reach.

Our continuous quest for an ideal venue led to another site change in 2018 to Azapiko Beach, Halkidiki. This edition was a significant milestone, enhancing the festival experience with new features like an art gallery and a children’s area, and hosting 3,500 attendees from 80 countries. Encouraged by the overwhelming support, we decided to make Free Earth an annual event, committed to offering a fully sustainable open-air festival experience.

Despite facing infrastructural challenges during the 2016 and 2018 editions due to the rapid growth of the festival, we addressed and resolved these issues, culminating in our 5th-anniversary edition in 2019. This edition was a transformative experience, creating a multicultural gathering of 4,000 people from 100 countries, and setting a new benchmark for Greek festivals.

In 2023, the “Supermoon Edition” of the Free Earth Festival marked another evolutionary leap for our community. We moved the venue to Asprovalta Camping to take advantage of its shaded camping, permanent facilities, and expansive beach, enhancing the overall experience for our attendees. The 2023 edition surpassed all expectations, with zero failures and generating an extraordinary online buzz. It wasn’t just a festival; it was a testament to our collective vision of a free earth, further solidifying our festival as a beacon of innovation, unity, and celebration.

The 2024 Free Earth Festival took our vision even further, bringing together 5,000 free spirits in a thrilling fusion of music, art, and connection. With a meticulously curated lineup, immersive installations, and vibrant workshops, this edition pulsed with unmistakable energy, setting new standards for an unforgettable festival experience.

For 2025 we’re pushing the envelope even further. Secure your ticket before the sell-out!
