If you like me and you’re itching to go to a music festival, then worry no longer. I’ve rounded up the best festivals that don’t just take place in summer.
1. Rise Festival
If you’re like me and you have never been to a Ski Music Festival then Rise is for you. This one is definitely on my bucket list.
Taking place in Les 2 Alpes, France between the 9th-16th December 2023, the festival offers much more than just skiing and music. It offers an adventure of a lifetime that you won’t forget.
From offering local cuisine to a Michelin-star experience, you can get stuck into fondue, raclettes, and much more!
You may question if you need to know how to Ski or Snowboard and the answer is no. You can learn whilst you’re there. For more information, visit their website here
2. MOGA Caparica
If you’ve ever wanted to go abroad for a festival and can never decide where to go, MOGA Caparica has got you covered, and don’t worry it won’t break the bank either.

If you’re looking to discover new music, tasty food, and even learn how to surf then Moga Festival is for you. For more information, visit their website here
