The Kol Fest Festival is a magnificent meeting of modernity and tradition, between globalization and nomadism. Launched in 2019, this annual festival, typically held in late June, is an open-air music festival on the shores of Lake Issyk Kul.

Located near Bokonbayevo and its numerous yurt camps, Kol Fest attracts artists from Central Asia and around the world to create an extraordinary moment of serenity and musical communion. Set in an exceptional setting, on the shores of the world's second-largest alpine lake and beneath the towering Tian Shan mountains, the festival showcases a diverse lineup: Electro, Indie, Reggae, Rock…

Beyond showcasing Central Asian bands and world music, the festival also offers numerous cultural activities. You can take yoga or dance classes, participate in creative workshops, or witness a yurt assembly demonstration or felt-making workshop.

This unique event is the perfect opportunity to discover Kirghiz culture while enjoying open-air concerts and a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere.
