Kombinatas is an annual gathering for left ideas and practices, bringing together individuals and organisations from across the Baltic region and beyond. The aim of the festival is to explore transformative social, ecological and political ideas based on principles of solidarity and equality, encourage positive change and strengthen regional connections.

During day, the programme consists of discussion panels, lectures and workshops. At night, the musical programme with live performances and DJs takes hold, bringing everyone together.

Kombinatas was initiated in 2020 by a number of Lithuanian grass-root organisations. Throughout the years, the festival has grown significantly. The event is attended by around 200 participants, with speakers, performers and visitors from across the world. The festival is organised on a voluntary, do-it-together basis by a collective of people from Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia who dedicate their time to making Kombinatas happen.

Why we need you

To ensure the festival remains accessible to everyone, participation is completely free of charge. While we are proudly supported by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, their grant only covers a portion of our total expenses. To bridge the gap, we rely on everyone’s support.
