Farewell at Lanterna Peninsula

The Lighthouse Festival will stage its final open air summer edition from May 26 to May 31, 2027 on Croatia’s Lanterna Peninsula. After 15 years and 13 editions the organisers are closing the open air chapter with a curated farewell programme and presale is already underway.

Organisers cite Valamar’s exit and the company’s planned redesign and renovation of the festival site as the principal reason for ending the outdoor format.

Highlights announced for the last summer instalment include a Pratersauna All Stars Floor. Meanwhile a winter edition called Grand Lighthouse is scheduled for Bad Gastein from January 21 to 24 2027.
