Stroga Festival: Return of the music party after a five -year break!

in Hoyerswerda, more precisely in the Knappenrode district, an event is in front of the door that makes the hearts of all music lovers beat faster. The Stroga Festival will take place there from July 18 to 2025, a meeting point for the electronic music scene, which will be held in this charming location for the third time after a five -year break. Originally launched in 2005 as a small party format in the village of Stroga, the festival has now changed to a popular event where the focus is on the community. The organizers report that this year they can count on more than 80 acts at the weekend, which the number of visitors could keep as high as in the previous year when around 1,500 guests visited the festival on Saturday evening.

Preparation for this big event is a real community work: over 120 volunteers have been busy preparing everything for visitors for days. In particular, the structure, which takes two weeks, shows the immense manual work and the use of the helpers who have the festival a unique experience. Despite the challenges that the current situation brings, the organizers are optimistic and calculate with a positive development of the advance booking figures, especially in good weather, since other festivals of similar size have already been canceled, which could provide them with a small advantage.

cultural diversity and family atmosphere

The Stroga Festival not only stands out through its family atmosphere, but also through a varied musical program. The offer includes music styles such as techno, drum’n’bass and minimal. In addition, the organizers were able to win exciting artists such as YouPhoria and Ameli Paul, who will enrich the line-up. In addition, a variety of additional activities are offered to visitors, including yoga and upcycling initiatives that promote the creative side of the festival.

• dates: 18th to July 20, 2025
• Visitor numbers: Occurred about 1500 on Saturday
• musical orientation: techno, drum’n’bass, minimal
• Special activities: yoga, upcycling

sustainability in focus

at a time when the topic of sustainability is becoming increasingly important, the Stroga Festival attaches great importance to environmentally friendly practices. As part of their sustainability strategy, the organizers, for example, focus on a reusable cup system and offer shuttle services by regional public transport. While the festival site even promises a special atmosphere in the middle of the industrial culture of the energy factory, common plastic use in catering is largely excluded. Such measures are important, since according to reports from DW Festivals often produce high amounts of waste.

The organized responsibility of the festival organizers shows that they are ready to take the next step and not only use the festival as an event, but also as a platform for social and environmentally conscious initiatives. They hope that these measures inspire other festivals to take similar steps to improve their ecological footprints.

The Stroga Festival is therefore more than just a musical journey through time through electronic beats. It is a meeting of community, creativity and a sense of responsibility - an event where you should definitely not be missing. If you have the chance, you should not miss this experience from July 18 to 2025!
