We organize our first festival obJAV with the idea of celebrating the beauty of nature and art. We need you to turn the public spaces around Smolenice into a place with pleasant music, a place to relax, learn to create, let your imagination run wild, and a place where experts tell us how they perceive nature and how we can protect it together. And especially, to a place without garbage.
Our first obJAV festival for all took place on 17th August and we were going through a challenge – not to create any waste.
Entry and participation in all activities was thanks to the support of the Participatory Budget of Trnava County FREE.
We would like to maintain the free spirit of the festival also for the upcoming edition and therefor we need you. If you liked this edition or you would like another one to happen, we would be truly happy for your support by voluntary contribution to our bank account: SK4811110000001508056018 UNICREDIT. Thank you!

Recently, the topic of forest logging has been resonating in public, new logging plants are being built and if this continues, it is quite possible that the Eastern Carpathians will cease to exist completely in some time. In this way, I want to draw the public’s attention to the beauty of these mountains, to show what rarely lives there. I would like to point out that if we do nothing to stop logging, in a few years we will see this beautiful nature only in pictures.“

ORGANISATION
ECOLOGY
Please bring your own cup or bottle, which you can fill on the spot. We believe that during the festival we can prevent waste. However, if we fail to do so, we will have the opportunity to create something from it and learn how to properly separate waste.
Food and drink stalls use cups for deposit. In the case of disposable packaging, they must be biodegradable. We do not support disposable plastics (packaging, papers, straws).
TENT CITY
The Baranek family let us use their meadow for the tent city. Set up your tent and if you create waste, take it with you to only leave a positive trace. Water and toilet are not available.
PARKING
Včelco made its parking lot available for us, which will be marked. Thank you.
Address: Továrenská 10A, 919 04 Smolenice
