Come enjoy concerts by promising bands, discover new music, and indulge in a rich program for both children and adults.
Garáž is back in Trenčín, this time at the KKC Hviezda area. In its 4th edition, which we regularly organize in collaboration with the Pohoda festival, it will bring three Saturdays of concerts by the next generation of bands from all over Slovakia.
