Positive Trace Festival

11 - 15 of August 2027

Hyllegaard Høje, Hvalsø

For the second time, Positive Trace Festival returns to Hyllegård Høje for five days of nature, music, creativity and community.

Our mission is to inspire and empower to take positive action for the environment by bringing people together to restore and care for our living ecosystems. Through hands-on nature restoration, workshops, talks and creative activities, we explore new ways of connecting with nature and creating a more regenerative way of living.

As the sun sets, the festival comes alive with music, storytelling, firelight and dance. From intimate campfire sessions and captivating live concerts to vibrant performances and energising DJ sets, the evenings are all about celebrating life.

Come curious, get your hands dirty, connect with nature and people, and leave with inspiration to create your own positive traces.

Join us for a 5-day journey in nature restoration, knowledge sharing and celebration!

Community is at the heart of the festival. In this space, strangers become friends. The festival serves as a powerful reminder of how much good can we do when we come together as a community.
In everything we do, we aim to leave a positive trace from our work-Nature is at the center.
This plays out in everything from from locally sourced products, and recycled decor to turning our food waste and trash into compost.
Our goal of the festival is not just to have good time but to also include our participants into projects that they can bring home. That's why all the workshops we do are created for the purpose of creating meaningful and hands-on experiences, that will not only help in promoting sustainability but also create awareness of how small projects can make the biggest impact.
We welcome everyone no matter your eye color, age, nationality or favorite hairstyle. That is why the program will be a mix of Danish and English. We create our activites so all ages can participate and make the best memories along the way.

2027 Venue

For the second time, the Positive Trace Festival will take place at Hyllegaard Høje, an ambitious community project working to create a shared living space rooted in nature, creativity, and sustainability.

Surrounded by rolling fields and home to sheep, chickens, and cows, Hyllegaard Høje spans 22 hectares of beautiful land. The community in collaboration with the festival aims to develop a long-term, sustainable land management plan that supports both people and the planet.

As part of the festival, we will contribute to this vision by helping establish a market garden, a fruit and nut orchard, and by enhancing biodiversity across the property. In the future, the site may even grow into a young forest….
