OUR MISSION AND RESPONSIBILITY
With a thriving local music and arts scene and Kyrgyzstan
gaining recognition as a top travel destination, such as
being featured in Lonely Planet and CNTraveler, launching
Kolfest in 2019 was a natural fit. The success of the 2019,
2021, and 2023 editions affirmed our decision. As we move
forward into 2024, Kolfest continues to expand while staying
true to its core objectives:
1. Foster sustainable development in the South Shore
community of Lake Issyk-Kul.
2. Facilitate cultural
exchange between Central Asia and the global community.
3. Promote and support the music and arts scene in
Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia.
We prioritize sustainability and local engagement.
Collaborating closely with the community, we feature local
food stalls, receive logistical support from local
authorities, and enlist volunteers from the South Shore of
Issyk-Kul. Moreover, we're actively pursuing sustainable
waste management and sanitation practices to raise awareness
and offer solutions. Reach out to us with ideas or
partnerships to enhance the sustainability of our event.
