HarFest 2025 brings creativity, community, and sustainability to Turntable.
On Saturday, 13th of September, we will have HarFest celebration at Turntable! This year, HarFest is bursting with creativity, green ideas, hands-on joy, and live music ranging from energetic punk to delicate melodies and lyrics! The event offers a diverse program inviting visitors to dive into the themes of sustainable lifestyle—through learning and hands-on experiences.
The event also marks the harvest of the “Growing Beauty” project and highlights the fantastic contributions of young volunteers in developing urban gardening. The prototypes designed and built by youth will be on display at Turntable. The event is free and open to everyone.
