About No Borders

For over thirty years, the No Borders Music Festival has brought big names of international music to one of the most evocative locations in Friuli Venezia Giulia: the Fusine Lakes, at the foot of Mount Mangart, reachable only on foot or by bicycle. A festival where music blends with the unspoiled nature of the Julian Alps, a symbol of a borderless territory between Italy, Austria, and Slovenia.

Music Where Borders End

Imagine a stage on the shores of an unreal green alpine lake, surrounded by fir trees and rock faces, reachable only on foot or by bicycle. This is the No Borders Music Festival, one of the most fascinating events in Europe, which for over thirty years has enlivened the Fusine Lakes, in the Tarvisiano area, at the foot of Mount Mangart and a stone's throw from the borders with Austria and Slovenia.

Thirty Years of Big Names

Founded in the 1990s, the festival has brought internationally renowned artists to this mountain corner, making the fusion of music, nature, and local culture its distinctive feature. The name itself, "No Borders," recalls the identity of a land where three nations meet and where music knows no frontiers.

A Zero-Impact Experience

The festival's unique aspect is its relationship with the environment: to reach the stage on the lake's shore, you leave your car and proceed on foot or by bike, on a path that is already part of the spectacle. Many concerts are held during the central hours of the day, with the light playing on the water and mountains. Packages combining the concert with guided nature excursions and overnight stays are often available.

Tarvisiano and the Julian Alps

The festival takes place in the valley of the Fusine Lakes and, in some editions, also on the Montasio plateau in Sella Nevea. It's the perfect opportunity to discover one of Italy's most beautiful mountain regions, with its ancient forests, glacial lakes, and the imposing peaks of the Julian Alps.

No Borders — edition 2026

The 31st edition of the No Borders Music Festival will take place in July 2026 at the Fusine Lakes, featuring a lineup of big names: Tom Smith & Elvis Costello (July 11), LP (July 12), and Manu Chao in his Ultra Acoustic version (July 25). Concerts immersed in the nature of the Julian Alps, reachable only on foot or by bike.
