PORT▲L Festival

13 – 15 / 03 / 2026

Gabrovo – 10 locations

The first edition of the PORT▲L: Gabrovo festival will take place from March 13 to 15 and will offer dozens of interactive installations, 3D mapping projections on iconic buildings, a light show and an international 3D mapping competition with participants from 6 countries. The festival is completely free and is suitable for everyone – children, youth, adults and families.

PORT▲L is a new interactive light art initiative by Elektrick.me. Its goal is to transform the classical perception of art, turning it from a passive object into an open system in which the audience has the opportunity to participate, thanks to digital technologies.
