LAPOIANA - WHERE MUSIC MEETS ETERNITY
LAPOIANA Festival embodies a unique blend of rural charm and modern vibrancy, where the tranquil Moldovan countryside transforms into a dynamic electronic music venue.
With a rich history spanning five successful editions, the festival has evolved into a revered annual gathering that brings together people of all ages from villages and towns across northern Moldova. Nestled in the heart of the countryside, amidst picturesque landscapes, LAPOIANA offers an immersive experience that celebrates the essence of rural life.
Picture this: the rustic allure of a traditional Moldovan village harmonizes with the electrifying energy of our diverse musical lineup, creating an atmosphere of boundless freedom and exhilaration.
Music diversity is part of our DNA, ensuring our attendees enjoy a spectrum of entertainment that spans from dawn till dusk. From pulsating techno and house beats to captivating pop, rap, and folk melodies, LAPOIANA caters to every musical taste. Over its five-year history, the festival has welcomed internationally renowned artists like SATOSHI, ZDOB & ZDUB, and PLĂIEȘII. One of our core objectives is to champion Moldovan-born artists and nurture emerging talents, fostering a thriving music scene within the country.
Who we are ?
A.O. 'Poiana People' is a public association established by a group of dedicated individuals with a shared mission: to organize an annual cultural event of significant impact in the villages of Moldova. We are descendants of Moldova's past, who have journeyed to Europe in search of a brighter future, yet remain deeply connected to our roots.
Each year in August, we unite with the diaspora to return home, where we rekindle cherished memories and celebrate our cultural heritage through music and dance, alongside our parents, grandparents, and loved ones.
