MoDem festival

MoDem Festival (Momento Demento) is one of the most renowned psytrance festivals in this part of Europe and a true haven for lovers of alternative music and nature. The festival has put the small village of Primišlje - located between Slunj and Ogulin - on the global map. So if you have booked accommodation in Slunj or elsewhere in Lika, MoDem Festival might be your most vivid summer experience. Held annually in July or August, the festival takes place deep in the forest near the Mrežnica River, where several days of music and art unfold in a completely natural setting. The site is known for its impressive wooden structures, immersive light installations, and scenography that blends beautifully with the surrounding wilderness. The main stage (Hive) features fast, hypnotic psytrance, while other zones are dedicated to chillout, live acts, and experimental soundscapes. Visitors can also enjoy art workshops, yoga sessions, river swimming, and laid-back days under the trees. MoDem is not just a festival - it is a temporary community with its own rhythm and spirit. Unlike commercial festivals along the coast, MoDem offers a wild, free, and intimate atmosphere - the perfect escape from everyday life and a deep dive into music and nature.
