Through the new Solar Weekend website, taking form of a blog, the festival lives 365 days a year.

Birthday party
Due to the ten-year anniversary of Solar Weekend Festival it was bigger than ever creatively, with projects, art and much audience participation. One of the many highlights this edition was the sing-along on Saturday afternoon. Out of thousands of mouths across the whole of the festival grounds sounded the heartfelt “Long live Solar” song. Furthermore, beautiful iterations of the theme ’Fairytale’ were found all over the festival and camping.

Long weekend
For the second time visitors were able to camp four days this year. The organization made some changes this edition, such as admitting fewer campers and upgrading the facilities, like the Solar Super and sanitation at the camping. Visitors praised the improvements which offered a high level of comfort. The camping featured diverse activities like the splashing ” Kleddernat op Oorlogspad” water fights, the opening ritual, Solar Radio, and numerous pre- and afterparties at the different camping stages.

The organization would like to thank the visitors, creative participants and the city of Roermond for the pleasant cooperation and the spectacular festival.
