Who are we?
Terra Collective is an international crew living in different parts of Latvia and the world. Over the past decade, these passionate organisers have created various festivals and events in different countries such as Latvia and India, encouraging and promoting underground culture, art, freedom, & music celebrations.
Synchronicities of life brought them to the mysterious Land of Latvia to meet and form this enigmatic collective. We truly think that the depth of expressing ideas and being heard can only become true when we feel a sense of community and belonging, and we know that festivals and gatherings are an amazing opportunity for this.
So together, we felt the call to create the first edition of TERRA FESTIVAL, a place to awaken the authenticity of being here and now, without borders, without fear and with one love for the Earth and all beings in it.
In TERRA we are all one big family.

Our roots in Skujene, Latvia
The word territory comes from the Latin word terra, which is also at the heart of our identity. We aim to firmly plant our roots in Skujene, helping this place evolve alongside the festival. Terra Collective introduced itself to the local community through our event Portal, which took place in Skujene on January 18th. We hope to build a strong community that enhances the festival each year, while spreading our underground network's roots even deeper
What makes TERRA special?
Terra is not just a festival, it’s a celebration of community, embracing diversity, and showcasing authenticity for those who are deeply connected to their art and culture, as well as those searching for their inner creativity. Terra represents an invisible network that connects people from all over the world, regardless of social constructs, to embrace themselves in colors, sounds, shapes, vibrations, smells, textures, and more.
