Fenix Sound Electronic Music Festival Returns with its Second Chapter in Bizerte
The upcoming edition of the renowned “Fenix Sound” electronic music festival is set to take place from July 12 to July 14, 2024, at Iris Residence S’hiri in Cap Serrat, Bizerte Governorate. This event is supported by Tunisia’s Ministry of Tourism, emphasizing its importance as a cultural and artistic gathering.
The Theme: “Sound of Waves” – A Festival Merging Art and Nature
Titled “Sound of Waves,” this second chapter promises to be a vibrant blend of artistic expression and cultural celebration. Fenix Sound is not merely a music festival; it’s a concept designed to highlight Tunisia’s rich artistic, cultural, and natural heritage through an immersive experience involving music, arts, and wellness. The event aims to foster a sustainable local economy by stimulating tourism and cultural pride while contributing to the development of the local community.
Moreover, the festival seeks to position Tunisia as a hub of innovative event tourism, supporting local communities and enhancing the country’s international image. The selection of Cap Serrat as the venue is no coincidence—its pristine beaches, clear waters, and picturesque landscapes create the perfect backdrop for this celebration of sound and nature.
Captivating Venue and Unique Atmosphere
Cap Serrat is characterized by its endless stretch of white sandy beach nestled between striking cliffs. Its unspoiled environment offers an authentic Mediterranean experience—so different from the tranquil Mediterranean coast generally associated with Tunisia. During Fenix Sound, the venue’s natural beauty will be highlighted through carefully curated decorations, lighting, and a specially designed atmosphere to elevate the festival experience.

Among the attendees, there will be international tourists drawn to Tunisia’s natural and cultural splendors. The festival plans to host at least a hundred cultural ambassadors, ensuring a rich diversity of backgrounds and stories. All share a universal language: music, which serves as a powerful connector transcending borders.

Visitors will also enjoy a fashion show highlighting Tunisian apparel brands, celebrating the country’s artisanal talent and craftsmanship.
The event will incorporate wellness activities offering moments of relaxation for attendees, alongside a beach volleyball tournament featuring emerging young teams. These initiatives aim to foster positive interactions, promote community spirit, and create a vibrant, inclusive environment.
Environmental Commitment and Community Engagement
Environmental sustainability is at the core of Fenix Sound’s ethos. A beach cleanup campaign will be organized around the event site to raise awareness about preserving Tunisia’s natural heritage. Educational installations and communication efforts will emphasize the importance of environmental protection, aiming to leave a positive impact on all participants.
Throughout the festival, Armada Prod—organizers and main production company—will deploy a team of photographers and videographers to capture the essence of this grand celebration. Their footage and images will document the festival’s magic and serve as lasting memories.
