Prosto Nebo FEST 2025: when goodness sounds live

Prosto Nebo FEST 2025: when goodness sounds live - Rise of Ukraine

On July 6 and 7, Park “Lavina” in Dnipro became a place where culture, music, and charity merged into one powerful festival breath. Prosto Nebo FEST, organized by the Rise of Ukraine Fund, attracted over 10,000 guests and became one of the largest events of the summer in the city.

A charitable goal that united everyone

This year, we set ourselves a specific, important goal — to raise funds for bionic prostheses for wounded soldiers in partnership with our friends at Esper Bionics.
And we succeeded: we raised 1,022,287 UAH over the two days of the festival. These funds will finance two bionic prostheses that will change the lives of our defenders.

Stage, market, food courts, and surprises

The festival lasted two days, each of which was filled with music, workshops, interactive activities, lectures, recreation areas for children and adults, an ethnic market with products from Ukrainian craftsmen, and a variety of street food.
Everything took place under the open sky and with faith in a good cause.
Even a brief morning rain on Saturday could not spoil the atmosphere — on the contrary, it made the first chords of the festival even more anticipated. And then — only happiness on faces, smiles, and sincere gratitude to everyone who came, donated, and was part of this celebration.

Stars who were nearby

We believe that magic lies in sincerity. And at the festival, it was everywhere:
Ramil from the band KURGAN & AGREGAT cut hair for those who wanted it in our beauty zone — for a donation, of course.
On July 5, the band NAZVA married couples right on the festival grounds — with music, certificates, and genuine emotions.
Yevgen Galich, frontman of the band O.Torvald, sat down at a hand-painted piano and presented the audience with sincere music without a stage or pretension.
Alyona Alyona not only performed, but also opened her own flea market, selling personal items for donations — and even got a tattoo in the festival’s tattoo zone.

Memorable areas

Each location had its own energy: from children’s areas to the food court, from the improvised stage to interactive locations. The Volvo car became an art object that was painted not only by children but also by adults. The queue for fortune tellers did not disappear throughout the day. In a small area for animals, dogs had their own drinking station — because care was in the details.

Thank you to those who made it possible

The festival would not have been possible without our main partner – Ukrnafta. Their support became a reliable rear guard, which allowed us to make this event large-scale, comfortable, and high-quality.
We are also grateful to all the volunteers, brands participating in the market, speakers, artists, benefactors, and every guest. You are our heroes this summer.

Prosto Nebo is more than just a festival

This is a space where culture comes to life. Where music has meaning. Where even a small donation becomes part of a great cause.
Over a million hryvnias, hundreds of new acquaintances, thousands of smiles, and countless sincere memories. We are already counting down to the summer of 2026.

See you soon. Under the open sky 💚
