Gulbash 2025  

Still buzzing from Gulbash 2025 — the second round of this wild Ukrainian open-air festival deep in the Rockies near Golden, BC ⛰️

4 days of non-stop energy:
🧘‍♀️ Morning yoga in the fresh mountain air
🎤 Live shows + Ukrainian artists
🔥 Campfires & dancing under the stars
🎧 DJs dropping beats ‘til sunrise
🌲 Nature, freedom, and the best people all around

It was the perfect mix of culture, music, and straight-up good vibes.

Massive shoutout to the organizers — my friends who made this all happen. You created something real, something that brought people together and made us all feel alive. Mad respect and big love to you all 💛💙

Till next year!

Досі кайфую після Gulbash 2025 — другого раунду цього дикого українського open-air фестивалю в самому серці Скелястих гір біля Golden, BC ⛰️

4 дні суцільного кайфу:
🧘‍♀️ Ранкова йога просто неба
🎤 Живі виступи та артисти з України
🔥 Вогнища та танці під зірками
🎧 DJ-сети до самого світанку
🌲 Природа, свобода і найкращі люди навколо

Атмосфера, яку важко описати словами: музика, культура, енергія, єдність.

Окремий респект і безмежна подяка організаторам — моїм друзям, які вклали душу й зробили це можливим. Ви створили щось дуже справжнє. Люблю вас і ціную 🙌💛💙
