About The Festival
Our Story
What began as a whisper on the sand has become a coastal call. Wake Up Stran-Jah is the rhythm of the Bulgarian seaside - a continuous flow carved by the WUS Crew.
It has grown like the tide since 2012, never losing its original soul. Here, on the edge of the Black Sea, music and salt air weave a days-long sunrise. Time softens. Hearts sync to a deeper pulse.
You don't just attend. You step into the current, and it carries you home - charged with a lasting, coastal light.
Location
The magnificent location is one of the crucial elements of the Wake Up Stran-Jah experience.
At first glance Varvara doesn't seem like an obvious choice for an electronic playground. It is a tiny village situated in the deep south of the Black Sea coast, just a few minutes away from the foot of the mystical Strandzha Mountain — hence the name of the festival.
Reaching Varvara's north beach is quite an adventure itself as you have to make your way through the narrow paths of a dusty field. Once you complete the quest, a feeling of fulfillment enters your mind — you have unlocked a hidden location that will probably make you want to settle here forever.
The festival site creates a sense of detachment from the real world. As you would imagine, this is a key moment in reaching a point of total satisfaction.
