Solar Weekend Festival is created by creatives, for creatives.
Challenge
Develop an online experience that captures the unique atmosphere of this creative festival.
Approach
At most festivals, headliners are the centerpiece of communication. However, Solar Weekend Festival is all about its audience. It’s the visitors who make the festival what it is: the largest creative dance festival in the Netherlands. We wanted to encapsulate that extraordinary vibe in the website.
