Sustainability
Organisers wanted to raise awareness for sustainability and started a tree planting project. The festival donated 10 trees to the host town Zamárdi. Apart from Hungarian artists and celebrities, Armin Van Buuren also attended the tree planting. The festival will continue to donate 10 trees to Zamárdi each year. Environmental protection and sustainable living was part of the festival in many other ways too. For example, when you bought a drink, you did not get a straw unless you specifically asked for one, and it was not made of plastic but some kind of paper. There were also many separate trash containers for the recyclable plastic water bottles.
