Cafe De Anatolia is staging its two-day festival in Macedonia for the first time - the "Cafe De Anatolia Festival" runs at Aleksandar Park in the centre of Vinica on July 10 and 11, 2026. The world-renowned music brand for organic house and afro house, riding huge regional interest, is bringing its full concert production to a fresh location.

Cafe De Anatolia was founded in 2017 by Macedonian producers Monika Ilieva, Nikola Iliev (Rialians On Earth/Nickarth) and Zoran Iliev (Billy Esteban), with the project's roots going back to 2009. Today it is a global imprint with over 50 sub-brands, and in 2024 it was recognised as Beatport's best-selling artist and label for organic house. The sound is built at the crossroads of ethnic deep house, downtempo, folktronica and afro house - Middle Eastern melodies translated through contemporary electronic production. Worth noting how rarely a Macedonian export builds this kind of global footprint without leaving home base.

The programme over both days features international and local Cafe De Anatolia DJs with long house and afro house sets, a food zone, a wine stand with five wineries from the Vinica region, exhibitions, tarot card reading, pantomime and dance. Friday night (20:00 - 03:00) and Saturday night (20:00 - 03:00) are the club format, while Saturday afternoon (15:00 - 20:00) is the wine and tasting programme with free food.

Early Bird tickets are 700 denars for a single day, 1,300 for combined sets and 2,000 denars for a full ticket covering all three events - available only until June 1 via mktickets.mk. The venue is Aleksandar Park in Vinica - a getaway event that bridges the CDA musical experience with eastern Macedonian gastronomy.
