The festival was founded with the goal of promoting pop cultural and pop artistic expressional forms, as well as promoting Sarajevan urban culture.[5] It runs programmes for design and comic book art, acting and puppetry, painting and statuary and electronic music production.[6] Each programme entails workshops and exhibitions, while the music production programme also hosts a DJ competition.[7]

The festival also showcases student theatre productions from the Academy of Performing Arts, a radio production seminar and organizes an annual exhibition and panel discussion on Hip-hop culture that is held in the Obala Open Scene.[8]
