Platforms on request

Music rises in the Sutjeska valley as lights touch the hills and evening air cools the grass. OK Fest brings rock and electronic acts to Tjentište each July, with camping beneath ridges, day activities in the park, and night stages on the meadow. It suits festival travellers who want late sets, river and lake time by day, and easy access to viewpoints and the memorial.

OK Fest: what to expect

A three-day programme on outdoor stages by the Tjentište meadow, with warm-up acts at sunset and headliners late at night. Daytime brings optional park activities such as short lake walks or soft rafting organised by local operators. Bars and food points sit on site; re-entry rules vary by wristband. Photo culture is relaxed without flash. Treat the memorial area with respect at all times.

Where to watch

Teens only, with ear protection. Choose edge positions, agree a meeting point, and plan an early exit if needed.

Keep aisles clear, stay behind barriers, bring a soft bottle for water refills, no glass, head-torches on low, and follow staff guidance near the river and road.

How to attend

Tickets and passes

Single-day and three-day passes sell online in tiers, with increases close to the event. Mobile QR is standard; wristband exchange opens from late afternoon on day one. Camping passes are separate when offered.

Entry and bag checks

Airport-style checks at gates. Small bags only. Professional cameras and tripods are restricted. Sealed water rules vary by night; bars provide cups.

Etiquette

Phones on low brightness, no flash, respect the memorial zone, be kind in the crowd, and step aside for photos. Use bins and keep the meadow clean.

Accessibility

Ground is mixed: grass, compacted tracks and short slopes. Step-free routes vary by entrance. Reserved viewing platforms may be available on request; contact the organiser when booking. Volume is high; ear protection helps. Cloakrooms or lockers operate when provided.

FAQs

When do tickets go on sale?


Tiers usually release in spring. Prices rise as the line-up finalises.

Is camping included?


Often sold as a separate pass. Check the year page for camping options and quiet-hour rules.

Is OK Fest suitable for families?


Older teens only, with ear protection. Late hours and volume do not suit young children.

What is July weather like in the valley?


Warm days and cooler nights; expect 12 to 26 °C. Bring a light layer after midnight and a waterproof for passing showers.

Can I take photos or video?


Phones are fine without flash. Professional rigs and drones are restricted.

How do I get back to my hotel?


Pre-arrange shuttles or stay on site. Night taxis are limited in the valley; Foča is the nearest reliable base.

What pairs well with festival days?


A Zelengora lake loop, the Perućica edge with a ranger, or a Tjentište museum hour before gates.

For Sutjeska and Foča tours, then balance late sets with lake mornings and quiet valley hours.
