10 Summer 2025 Festivals Around the World You Can Reach for Under $750

1. Fuji Rock Festival (Japan)

• ✈️ Flight Price Range: $699–$750 roundtrip
• 📍 Where: Niigata, Japan
• 📅 When: July 26–28, 2025
• 🔄 Top Airline Deals: ANA, Japan Airlines, ZIPAIR
• 💃 Festival Vibe: Nature-meets-alt-rock with a chill, scenic energy

Fuji Rock is Japan’s most iconic outdoor music festival. It’s held in the lush mountains of Niigata and known for merging massive indie lineups with pristine natural backdrops. Past performers have included The Strokes, Kendrick Lamar, and Radiohead.

Getting there might sound expensive, but flight deals to Tokyo from the West Coast and major hubs like NYC and Chicago often dip below $700 roundtrip, especially with budget carriers like ZIPAIR. From Tokyo, it’s a scenic 90-minute bullet train ride to the festival grounds.

Food stalls, forested walkways, and even hot spring zones make this a full-on cultural experience…not just a concert weekend.

2. Roskilde Festival (Denmark)

• ✈️ Flight Price Range: $550–$700 roundtrip
• 📍 Where: Roskilde, Denmark (near Copenhagen)
• 📅 When: June 28 – July 7, 2025
• 🔄 Top Airline Deals: SAS, Norwegian Air, Delta, Lufthansa
• 💃 Festival Vibe: Massive, wild, community-driven with a European Coachella energy

Roskilde is one of Europe’s largest and longest-running music festivals…and easily one of the most unique. Think of it as a Danish Glastonbury, but more offbeat and communal. It’s an 8-day event packed with huge headliners, underground acts, art installations, and late-night electronic parties, all hosted on sprawling farmland just 30 minutes from Copenhagen.

Despite its size and reputation, flights to Copenhagen are surprisingly affordable. Going regularly finds summer fares under $650 roundtrip from major U.S. cities like NYC, Boston, and Chicago. From the airport, a quick train gets you straight to the festival gates.

Camping is the move here (and part of the fun), which saves a ton on lodging. Expect a crowd that’s young, diverse, and down to get a little muddy in the name of music and freedom.

3. Montreal International Jazz Festival (Canada)

• ✈️ Flight Price Range: $150–$300 roundtrip
• 📍 Where: Montreal, Quebec
• 📅 When: June 26 – July 5, 2025
• 🔄 Top Airline Deals: Air Canada, Porter, Delta, United 
• 💃 Festival Vibe: Open-air concerts, smooth city vibes, global music celebration

The Montreal Jazz Festival is the largest jazz festival in the world—but don’t let the name fool you. While it’s rooted in jazz, it pulls in soul, funk, indie, R&B, and big-name acts from around the globe. Past lineups have included everyone from Herbie Hancock to Anderson .Paak.

Best part? It’s one of the easiest and most affordable international trips from the U.S. Going routinely lists roundtrip fares from NYC, Boston, Chicago, and Philly under $250.

Over half of the festival’s shows are free, with stages set up across downtown Montreal. Grab a smoked meat sandwich, a cold beer, and enjoy world-class music on the streets without spending a dime. The city’s European flavor adds even more charm.

4. Running of the Bulls (San Fermín Festival, Spain)

• ✈️ Flight Price Range: $550–$700 roundtrip
• 📍 Where: Pamplona, Spain (via Madrid or Bilbao)
• 📅 When: July 6–14, 2025
• 🔄 Top Airline Deals: Iberia, American Airlines, Air Europa
• 💃 Festival Vibe: Nonstop adrenaline, Spanish street parties, tradition meets chaos

The San Fermín Festival is one of the world’s most legendary—and wildest—cultural experiences. Every July, thousands flood Pamplona’s narrow streets dressed in white and red, drinking sangria, dancing to brass bands, and yes…running with the bulls at sunrise.

While Pamplona doesn’t have a major international airport, flying into Madrid or Bilbao and hopping on a train or bus (3–4 hours) keeps things cheap. I’ve found roundtrip fares to Madrid this summer in the $600 range from major U.S. cities like New York, Miami, and D.C.

Accommodations book out fast, so budget travelers should reserve early or look for hostels in nearby towns. Even if you’re not running, the energy of this festival is next-level. Expect dancing in the streets till 4am, live music everywhere, and a cultural immersion you’ll never forget.

• 👉 Pro Tip: Track flights into both Madrid and Bilbao on Going — you’ll double your chances of scoring a sub-$650 summer deal.

5. Gion Matsuri (Kyoto, Japan)

• ✈️ Flight Price Range: $690–$750 roundtrip
• 📍 Where: Kyoto, Japan (via Osaka or Tokyo)
• 📅 When: Month-long throughout July, with main events July 17 & 24
• 🔄 Top Airline Deals: ANA, ZIPAIR, Delta, United
• 💃 Festival Vibe: Ancient tradition meets modern street celebration—parades, lanterns, and next-level aesthetics

Gion Matsuri isn’t just Kyoto’s biggest festival…it’s one of the most iconic in all of Japan. Dating back to the 9th century, this month-long celebration fills Kyoto with massive wooden floats, processions in traditional dress, nighttime street food stalls, and lantern-lit neighborhoods that feel straight out of a dream.

Though Kyoto doesn’t have its own international airport, it’s easily accessible via high-speed train from either Osaka (1 hour) or Tokyo (2.5 hours). Going frequently lists roundtrip fares to Osaka Kansai (KIX) under $750 from the U.S., especially if you fly with budget-friendly carriers like ZIPAIR or book early with ANA or Delta.

And the best part? Most of the festival events are completely free. You can spend your days exploring shrines and gardens, and your evenings watching parades or eating yakitori under glowing lanterns.

• 👉 Pro Tip: Look for deals into Osaka instead of Tokyo on Going — Kansai is closer to Kyoto and often cheaper during summer.

6. Latitude Festival (Suffolk, United Kingdom)

• ✈️ Flight Price Range: $550–$700 roundtrip
• 📍 Where: Henham Park, Suffolk (via London)
• 📅 When: July 24–27, 2025
• 🔄 Top Airline Deals: Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, Norse Atlantic, American
• 💃 Festival Vibe: Art-meets-indie in a forested wonderland with lakeside stages and literary tents

Latitude is where music lovers, nature seekers, and artsy types collide. Set in the dreamy English countryside, this boutique-style festival blends big-name bands with poetry readings, comedy acts, wellness workshops, and even open-air lake swimming. Past performers include Florence + The Machine, The Killers, and Phoebe Bridgers.

You’ll fly into London (usually Heathrow or Gatwick), where roundtrip flights from major U.S. cities often drop below $650 in summer—especially if you use Going to catch promo fares or last-minute flash sales. From London, it’s a 2-hour train ride to Suffolk.

Camping is encouraged (and fun), though glamping and hotel packages are also available. The crowd is laid-back and creative, and the whole vibe is more chill-coffeehouse-meets-Coachella than wild rave in a field.

7. Exit Festival (Novi Sad, Serbia)

• ✈️ Flight Price Range: $600–$725 roundtrip
• 📍 Where: Petrovaradin Fortress, Novi Sad (via Belgrade)
• 📅 When: July 10–13, 2025
• 🔄 Top Airline Deals: Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, Air Serbia, Austrian Airlines
• 💃 Festival Vibe: Underground electronic, rock, and EDM party inside a centuries-old fortress

Exit Festival is Europe’s ultimate party-for-cheap experience. What started as a student movement in 2000 has exploded into a massive, multi-stage music fest that hosts 200k+ people each year—set inside the walls of a fortress overlooking the Danube River. Think fire cannons, all-night dance parties, sunrise sets, and artists ranging from techno legends to global headliners.

You’ll fly into Belgrade (BEG), just 90 minutes from Novi Sad by train or shuttle. Going regularly lists roundtrip fares to Belgrade in the $600s, particularly from New York, Chicago, and D.C., and even cheaper from major European hubs if you’re already abroad.

Lodging in Novi Sad is super affordable (think $40–$80 per night), and you’ll get serious bang for your buck on food, beer, and late-night eats. Exit is perfect for travelers who want to go hard without going broke.

• 👉 Pro Tip: Search Going for both Belgrade and Budapest flights — Novi Sad is easy to reach from either, and prices vary week to week.

8. Sziget Festival (Budapest, Hungary)

• ✈️ Flight Price Range: $600–$700 roundtrip
• 📍 Where: Óbuda Island, Budapest
• 📅 When: August 6–11, 2025
• 🔄 Top Airline Deals: LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, United, Air France
• 💃 Festival Vibe: Massive weeklong island takeover—global artists, immersive art, and around-the-clock partying

Sziget is one of Europe’s biggest and boldest festivals. Think of this: an entire island in the middle of the Danube transformed into a psychedelic dreamworld of music, lights, performance art, and international culture. The lineup pulls from every genre imaginable, with past headliners like Billie Eilish, Calvin Harris, Arctic Monkeys, and Post Malone.

You’ll fly into Budapest (BUD), where summer roundtrip flights from the U.S. regularly fall under $700, especially from the East Coast. Going often posts sub-$650 fares out of NYC, Boston, and Chicago—just keep your dates flexible and book early.

What sets Sziget apart is the sheer scale: 50+ stages, 6 days of nonstop music, and a global crowd that feels more like a traveling carnival than a concert. And since Budapest is one of Europe’s most affordable capitals, everything from food to lodging stays comfortably cheap.

• 👉 Pro Tip: Use Going to monitor fares into both Budapest and Vienna—sometimes it’s cheaper to fly into Austria and take a quick 2.5-hour train over.

9. Bali Kite Festival (Sanur, Indonesia)

• ✈️ Flight Price Range: $750+ roundtrip
• 📍 Where: Sanur Beach, Bali
• 📅 When: July 2025 (dates are currently July 26-27, 2025, subject to change)
• 🔄 Top Airline Deals: Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, EVA Air, ANA
• 💃 Festival Vibe: Spiritual, communal, and visually stunning—a blend of ancient tradition and playful competition

If you’re looking for something totally different this summer, Bali’s Kite Festival delivers. This isn’t your average beach day. Thousands of Balinese locals and international visitors gather in Sanur to fly massive, intricately designed kites (some up to 10 meters long) that represent gods, animals, and ancestral spirits.

The festival is rooted in Hindu tradition and held to send messages to the heavens for a good harvest. But it also feels like a massive beach party, with gamelan music, traditional dance, and street food galore.

Flights to Bali (Denpasar Airport, DPS) are typically in the $1200 range in summer with long layovers, but Going has $700 fares (at the lowest) from LAX, SFO, SEA, and JFK. The long journey is worth it—not only for the festival, but for the island itself, with rice terraces, surf towns, waterfalls, and some of the best budget lodging in the world.

• 👉 Pro Tip: Flex your layovers – Going occasionally lists Bali fares with extended stopovers in Singapore, Tokyo, or Taipei at no extra cost.

10. Tomorrowland (Boom, Belgium)

• ✈️ Flight Price Range: $600–$750 roundtrip
• 📍 Where: De Schorre, Boom, Belgium
• 📅 When: Two weekends: July 18–20 and July 25–27, 2025
• 🔄 Top Airline Deals: Brussels Airlines, Delta, United, Lufthansa
• 💃 Festival Vibe: Immersive electronic dance music experience with world-class DJs and elaborate stage designs

If there’s one festival that completely blurs the line between music and myth, it’s Tomorrowland. Held over two weekends in a forested park between Brussels and Antwerp, this is where the world’s best DJs collide with mind-blowing stage production and 400,000 fans from every corner of the globe.

For 2025, the theme is “Orbyz” – a surreal frozen dreamscape filled with mythical ice creatures and otherworldly visuals. But don’t worry, the only thing cold about this place is the beer. Sets run from sunset until sunrise, with names like Martin Garrix, Amelie Lens, and Tale of Us lighting up the Belgian sky.

Flights to Brussels regularly hit the $600–$750 range in summer, and Going has a solid track record of surfacing flash sales into BRU. From the airport, it’s just a quick 30–40 minute ride to the gates of this EDM paradise. Here’s my ultimate guide on where to stay at Tomorrowland.
