With over 100 international and national artists, more than 25 genres, 23 nations and over 30 gourmet food and beverage options – SulaFest 2016 goes a notch higher in its 9th edition.
At last year’s sold out festival, over 11,000 fest-goers had a weekend to remember and this year guarantees a grander production and even more amazing memories.
