 Dear Third Eye Festival Community,
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 First of all, a big thank you ❤️
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 To everyone who danced with us in the forest, shared a smile or a hug, volunteered, performed, built the stages, created art, or simply believed in what we're trying to co-create – it was you, who made Third Eye Festival 2026 possible.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Third Eye Festival returned to the forest for another unforgettable edition. Together, we created a unique gathering filled with incredible music, art, meaningful encounters, and a beautiful community.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Like many independent festivals we faced significant financial challenges. Rising production costs, increasing artist and transport expenses, and slower-than-expected ticket sales meant that, despite months of dedication and careful planning, we finished this year's edition with a financial loss.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Today, we're reaching out to the people who understand what Third Eye is all about. We are not one of the big festivals backed by large investors. We are a DIY underground techno family working hard to create something different in an increasingly challenging festival eco-system.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Independent festivals are disappearing across Europe. We believe spaces like Third Eye, created with passion rather than profit, are worth protecting. We want to continue this journey, and we're turning to you for your support.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our total budget for the 2026 edition was 71.000 EUR. Thanks to ticket sales, bar and merchandise revenue, sponsorships, and our own personal investment, we were able to cover 53.500 EUR. We are now left with a remaining loss of 17.500 EUR.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 By contributing, you're not simply helping us pay off the remaining invoices, you're helping preserve an independent festival.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a real difference. If you're unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with your friends and community helps just as much.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Together, we can do our best so this journey can continue and grow for years to come.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you for believing in our vision, and thank you for being part of this incredible community.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We hope to welcome you back in the forest.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 With gratitude,
</div>
<div>
