River Sound Festival 2026

Welcome back to River Sound! 

River Sound is a three-day, deeply intimate gathering hidden away from city noise, in a UNESCO forest of Kernave, in Lithuania. We invite you to step into a collective, psychedelic journey where electronic music, visual art, and wild nature bring together a community that we cherish so much. 

For us, the festival location in the forest of Kernavė is not just a temporary festival site, it is the land we live on, care for, and breathe year-round. Every August, we’re excited to share a magical weekend with you. 

This year marks a very special milestone for us: It’s our 5th anniversary. To honor this journey, we have spent the entire year quietly building, shaping, and preparing the grounds to make this gathering our most immersive and extraordinary we ever have created. Thanks to our strong and supportive community, we couldn’t do it without them. 

Our curation remains rooted in the local Lithuanian electronic music and arts scene, while welcoming our favourite international artists who share our vision. We’re very excited to invite you to come to experience our high-end tuned soundsystem, that many festivals are missing. That was our dream, to build a quality festival with the best sound, tuned by the best sound-engineer of Baltics. You don’t want to miss out this sound experience! 

Beyond the dance floor, our shared space offers slow mornings by the river, grounding practices, movement workshops, and moments to simply breathe.
