WHERE: Medjugorje, Serbia
WHEN: from 04th to 08th August 2025
Around here they call it Mladifest. In practice, this is the International Youth Festival, an event that for over thirty years has gathered tens of thousands of young people from all over the world, now in its 37th edition this year.
An edition that will exceptionally take place from Monday 04th to Friday 08th August.
Maldifest, born almost quietly, today boasts truly impressive numbers. The entire program (available in 18 languages!) is available on all official Media Mir Medjugorje channels (radio, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram).
Medjugorje is the glue of the event, a Serbian village, particularly appreciated by the faithful of the Virgin Mary.
Many young people say that after taking part in the event, they want to go back. And, for those who have never been there, curiosity is a lot.
For about 10 days, Medjugorje is invaded by young people and pilgrims, reaching even 100,000 presences.
An incredible religious and social aggregator like few throughout Europe.
As said, you don’t necessarily have to be a believer to take part in the Mladifest. Nor, much less, do we have to be kids.
The spirit is to be united under a single banner of peace and equality. And celebrate all together.
The international youth festival takes place in Medjugorje, over about 10 days.
The central Church of St James is the landmark of the event.
It is preferable to reach the place by car or, alternatively, by bus from Mostar.
Just near the church, you will find a large parking area for cars and buses.
Alternatively, another large free car park is located near the Apparition Colina
Also this year, it will be possible to pray and attend testimonies, or take part in processions with candles to the holy places of Medugorje. The program takes up almost the entire day, starting at 09:00 with the daily morning prayer at the Festival site and numerous events.
There will be many conferences, presentations and real testimonies, with ordinary people, priests and often guests from distant countries such as Africa, Asia and America. This is also a moment of strong sharing of other cultures and traditions. All the lessons and speeches are translated simultaneously into 18 languages!
Music and dance will also be protagonists at Mladifest 2025, with rhythmic spiritual dances and songs accompanied by guitars, drums and other instruments, until late at night. It will be difficult to remain impassive and not be swept away by all those present.
Furthermore, as per tradition, it will be possible to confess in at least 19 languages. The Holy Mass is translated into 15 different languages.
