  • You can expect a village full of saunas to heat you up, cold plunges to cool you down, delicious Slavic food to fill you up, drinks to quench your thirst and bonfires to gather around and share the moment. That’s Banya Fest.

  • Short list includes: swimsuit, sandals, towel, hydration water bottle. That's it!

  • Yes! We will have an assortment of culturally aligned food and beverages available free and included with your day pass.

  • You can think of “banya” as the complete package of traditional Slavic sauna experience. The steam is provocatively hotter, the oak whisk (venik) sessions are revitalizing, the frigid cool downs are refreshingly shocking and the slavic food is exactly what you are craving afterwards. That’s banya.
