Papuktech is not just an event; it's a celebration that intertwines techno music with the raw beauty of nature. Set against the backdrop of the stunning Papuk mountain and the medieval "Stari Grad" ruins, this forest rave offers a unique opportunity to dance under the stars, surrounded by lush green meadows. With an emphasis on community and authenticity, this event features no VIP areas or commercial sponsorships—just incredible beats and genuine connections among fellow music enthusiasts.
Born out of a passion for techno and nature, Papuktech is a grassroots initiative led by a dedicated team of volunteers. Our aim is to craft an unforgettable experience that celebrates local talent and the vibrant underground scene. By joining us, you're helping to lay the foundation for an annual festival that we hope will resonate throughout the region. Be part of the journey from the very beginning and contribute to something wild and memorable.
