Last July 10 to 12, 2025 my husband and I experienced the famous Pohoda Festival. Every year they have this music festival but only this year we went together and our schedules were both ok. The Pohoda Festival was held in Trenčín Airport, Slovakia. And I am thrilled to experience my first Pohoda Festival and there's even nothing more sharing the beautiful experience to the person I love.
It's like no kids and no need to worry about any and them. Aya stayed with my in-laws and Zoe was in Czech. It's just a couple of times together with music, fun, dance and memories.
The word "Pohoda" means comfort, ease or well-being. It is chill, relaxing and content. That the festival is all about. Everyone must enjoy the festival. And drink all you want and of course you need to pay for it.
It was held annually and its the largest music festival in Slovakia. Other people from Europe are also there to have fun.
There are different stages for performances. Including music, dance, podcast and in the big airport there's also theme parks. This festival was not only for adults and teenagers. And also for kids they have their shows and attractions.
Honestly, It was ok that kids are not with us. For sure Aya and Zoe will enjoy the rides. It's not good if we let them go alone. Someone will look at them also.
But next, they will enjoy with friends and not with us.🤣
After our work last July 10, our things were already inside the car and left at 4 pm. Going to Trenčín took about 2 hours and it feels cozy and calm along the way with a light rain.
Heavy traffic that approaches us, we expect it already. From cars, people arriving at the same time and tents in a big airport runway.
While waiting we were caught in traffic, no frustrations at all because the beautiful sky was a masterpiece.
The clouds and ray of the sun inviting us and a blessing that the festival will be incredible.
We finally found our assigned parking spot. Our spot for our little home. We talked already that we will sleep in the car. Aside from that, we can save money, an experience for us. My husband prepared everything, we have our airbed, blanket and pillows.
Our first night it was magical. Partying under the full moon. I took snaps before we joined the crowd. What a beautiful night for us. After that, we just went with the flow, we followed the music, joined the crowd, dancing and drinking. Just a pure happiness and freedom , like a bird just fly and fly anywhere. And we don't think about what other people say to us. And we embrace our moment and being with ourselves.
The party ends at 2 am and of course we need to sleep for the next day. But who wants to eat and drink more, no worries because the food stall was open. Our first night ended with more happiness. Go back to the parking area, to our car and prepare before we sleep.
Everything in the festival they prepared. From toilets to more toilets because it's a big place. Showers too they have, with free shower gel and shampoo. Hand and toothbrush area. We were tired but so happy. And we're looking forward to the next days of the festival.
The second morning of the festival was peaceful. When we woke up we went directly to shower but too many people were there. So we need to wait for our turn for our shower. And were set to start for another party. But before that we had our breakfast. There are lots of food stalls and too many customers too. We had our burger for 10 euro. It's just the burger only. We expect that the food will cost 10 euro and above.
For other days our routine was the same. From our meal, shower and sleep. My husband had a list of artists he wanted to see. And only knew Ashknikko. As a first timer I want to enjoy every music, new sound to discover.
The rest of the day we danced, relaxed, ate and enjoyed more performances. And I'm happy to see my husband was enjoying the festival because he was dancing in the crowd. 😅
Podcast, my husband's favorite. While we're waiting in line, there are local musicians performing live outside the venue. It keeps the atmosphere a good vibe by playing fantastic tunes.
As time passed, I felt tired, we felt totally tired. We decided to sleep until we were ok. My knees hurt so much. We just want to rest and if we are both recharged we go back enjoying the crowd.
Fast forward, bittersweet last day of the festival. The day was perfect to end the festival. It was more than just music, food and dancing. For me it was an experience. We're both creating memories and our feelings become magic.
Until next year for another Pohoda Festival. 🤞
