HOW TO GET TO 3SO?

Because sometimes, the road is where the festival begins.

At 3 Smoked Olives, nothing starts abruptly. Not the music. Not the connections. Not you. Everything begins with a journey.
A route that takes you away from the city, but closer to yourself. A string of landscapes, roadside stops, unexpected turns, and soft awakenings. A journey that pulls you out of routine and brings you to a place where the rhythm is different — slower, more alive, more in tune with nature.

In 2025, the road leads to Grădina IELELOR, at Sâmbăta de Sus, Brașov County — a new setting for 3SO, where wide skies, open spaces, and stillness become the threshold for your transformation

BY CAR – THE FREEDOM TO SET YOUR OWN PACE

Windows down. Mountains ahead. You carry your own beat. The car hums. You arrive slowly, fully.

Your car is your companion — your space, your sound, your tempo. It gives you freedom: to stop when you want, to wander, to make the road part of the ritual.
