Kombinatas - festival for transformative social and political ideas

Join us at Kombinatas 2024, a vibrant summer festival nestled in the picturesque rural setting near Anykščiai, Lithuania, from August 15th to 18th.

This year, our theme is "Home", delving into the multifaceted concept of home as a fundamental human right and exploring its implications on social, political, and environmental landscapes.

The programme will include over more than 50 participants from 13 countries. There will be lectures, panel discussions, workshops, exhibition, concerts and dj performances. Check the programme!

No need for prior registration - just pack your tent and come to Saugus atstumas campsite.

Kombinatas is free of charge, but we need your help!

Donate through crowdfunding platform or contribute directly at the festival site.

This year we are asking our community to gather funds for structural improvements. The roof over the bar had been falling apart, leaking water on electrical gadgets. We have built a roof over the platform where the lectures and workshops take part. Lastly, we would love to make floor in the bar area for next year.

For all of these tasks as well as usual expenses of the festival, we need to gather 4000 euros.

If you can contribute with your own hands - contact us on FB or IG and ask about collective work weekends at the space.

Kombinatas is a yearly summer festival in Lithuania exploring social and political ideas based on solidarity, cooperation and inclusiveness. We focus on participants from Eastern Europe, but we are open to contributions from all around the world!

During the day, the programme consists of discussion panels, lectures and workshops. At night, the musical programme with live performances and DJs takes hold. The festival is attended by around 200 people.

Kombinatas takes place in a campsite called "Saugus atstumas" - a collectively built space in the heart of Lithuania, which is an hour away by car from major cities, reachable by bus or bicycle as well.

The festival is organised by a group of people who participate in labour, student and feminist movements in Lithuania but also involves organisers from neighboring countries. The festival's team chooses a key theme each year: we invite key speakers and curate main discussion panels. In addition, part of the programme is open for contributions: contact us if you would like to contribute to the programme!

The festival is organised on a voluntary basis, it is free of charge. However, donations are encouraged.
