Half Moon Festival

The Halfmoon Festival brings together world-class DJs from the house, trance, and techno genres every two weeks, delivering an unparalleled experience in Koh Phangan's Magical Forest. Surrounded by towering palm trees, lovely sandy beaches, and a brilliant green-blue sea, the event boasts enormous production on numerous stages, complete beach activities, sunset boat cruises, and more, making it a must-see for anybody in the area. In 2024, the festival will be two days long, with three music stage types and a pre-festival beach-front day party at the magnificent Harmony Beach Club.

Halfmoon Festival, founded in 2002 by DJs Jao Pattanasiri and Oren Mizrachi, brings revolutionary, European-style luxury production to a magnificent tropical location. It provides an unforgettable night with elite DJs and performers, guaranteeing a smooth trip through the finest dance music. This festival offers sublime experiences beneath the sun and sky, making it one of Thailand's most talked-about events.

The festival's origins began when the organizers decided to relocate their gatherings away from the shore, where most Full Moon parties were held, and into the mysterious settings of the natural jungle. This tropical paradise now comes to life every half-moon night and is one of the three original Moon Party open-air gatherings that have made Koh Phangan a world-famous party destination. It attracts tourists and music enthusiasts from all over the world to dance beneath the moonlight deep in the beautiful tropical jungle.

Every two-day festival begins with an entire day of beach events, which include a beach bar, non-alcoholic mocktails, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, yoga, ecstatic dance lessons, and optional sunset boat rides.
