It is held in the historical place where the Serbian industry revolution has started in the mid-19th century by opening a gun factory which later led to opening automotive facility Zastava Automobiles. The festival is famous for offering extraordinary mixture of modern sound and light systems and specific 19th century industrial architecture. The location of Arsenal Fest is a huge advantage of the festival, because it is situated just a few hundred meters from the downtown Kragujevac, but is, at the same time, completely isolated from the tumult of the city that has 175,000 residents.
