THE BOAT PARTY experience

The Solar Music Festival wasn’t confined to the land. Festival-goers took the party to the water with exclusive boat parties that cruised across the Ionian Sea. With beats flowing through the air and breathtaking views of the Saranda coastline, it was a standout experience that added a unique twist to the festival.

The ultimate fusion

The Solar Music Festival brought together the best of music, adventure, and natural beauty, creating an experience that went beyond the ordinary. From dancing by the sea to exploring Saranda’s hidden treasures, it was a festival designed to celebrate life and music in harmony with nature. A true coastal escape, the festival offered the perfect blend of sound and adventure for those seeking the ultimate summer experience.

Planning & Strategy

Making the magic happen

Organizing a large-scale festival on the stunning but remote coast of Saranda presented its own set of challenges. Balancing the festival’s energy with the natural environment was key to creating a seamless experience. We had to ensure the event’s infrastructure didn’t interfere with the beauty of the Ionian coastline, while also delivering the high-level production needed for an unforgettable music event.
The boat party was a total highlight! Dancing on the water, under the stars, surrounded by amazing people, it doesn’t get any better than that.
