Iași, 29th of May 2025
Rocanotherworld announces a new location for the tenth edition of the festival: in Iași, in Bârnova, in the vineyards of the Gramma Wines winery. Between June 19 and 22, 2025, participants and the public are expected to enjoy live concerts, recreational and educational activities, silent disco and many other related activities in a new setting that celebrates a return to roots, anchoring in nature and valuing sustainability and supporting local producers.
Located just 10 km from the center of Iași, the venue of the tenth edition of Rocanotherworld is located in the heart of the hills where the vineyards of the Gramma Wines winery lie, a local producer involved in the cultural and social life of the city, but also an example of organic and sustainable entrepreneurship, with dozens of labels awarded at international competitions in recent years.
„We are honored to host the Rocanotherworld festival – an event that brings together great people, good music and creative energy. At Gramma, we love hosting guests, sharing our story and showing the world the extraordinary potential of the Iași wine terroir.” mentions Marian Olteanu, founder of Gramma Wines.
Access to the festival will be facilitated with the support of local authorities by organizing regular rides to and from the city. The organizers encourage alternative transportation, by bicycle or ride sharing, maintaining the sustainable and environmentally friendly direction assumed since 2020.
In the spirit of #beforothers and encouraging the involvement of young people in the initiatives they resonate with, registrations for volunteers for this Rocanotherworld edition are open until May 30th, and the form is available online. Vendors can register to participate in the festival by completing the form available online.
