When late summer heat meets lakeside beats, you get Zhara Festival—a celebration of fire, music, and freedom unlike anything else in Ontario. Hosted at Stoco Lake Lodge in Tweed, the festival brought together hundreds of guests for a weekend of art, live DJs, performance, and connection under the stars.
-Camp Rentique is proud to be the official camping partner, helping festival-goers enjoy the full experience—without worrying about gear, setup, or packing.
🔥 The Festival: Where Sound Meets Fire
Running from July 4-6, 2025, Zhara transformed the fields and forests of Tweed into a vibrant festival ground filled with art, rhythm, and community.
Three days of electronic and live music filled the lakeside air—mixing genres from deep house to world fusion, live instrumental sets, and late-night DJ sessions that carried on until dawn.
But what makes Zhara truly unique is its creative identity. The festival merges Slavic roots, fire art, costume culture, and contemporary performance, creating an atmosphere that’s more than entertainment—it’s transformation.
-
Fire performances and themed stages lit up the night.
-
Workshops, yoga, and community circles filled the mornings.
-
Themed zones—forest pathways, dance domes, and art installations—created immersive spaces to explore.
It’s a festival that feels both raw and magical—where people come not just to watch, but to participate.
🏕️ The Campgrounds: Lakeside Vibes & Late-Night Conversations
Zhara takes place on over 100 acres of land at Stoco Lake Lodge—complete with forest trails, open fields, and direct access to the water. The campground is as much part of the experience as the music itself.
Festival guests could set up tents just steps from the lake, enjoy morning swims, or gather for late-night talks by the fire. But for travelers coming from far away, hauling camping gear across provinces or flights wasn’t ideal.
That’s where we came in.
