Where: Petrcane, Croatia
Venue: the garden Petrcane, Croatia
Website: http://www.thegardenfestival.eu/Description: The festival that started it all off is for the first time launching over two weekends to kick start a unique festival season on the beautiful Croatian coast. Set on a narrow peninsular which juts out into the azure waters of the Adriatic, The Garden Festival nestles in an idyllic location which is hard not to fall in love with. With a strictly limited capacity creating an intimate atmosphere, world class DJs and live acts including Norman Jay, Gilles Peterson and Crazy P - along with people from all over Europe and beyond - flock every year to soak up the sun, listen to beatific beats during the day and party into the night. High sea-jinks on daily boat parties, relaxing massages and fantastic food and drink are just some of what to expect. And in a world’s first, the site is from 2009 hosting a unique “festival season,” The Garden Petrcane, with a variety of weekends programmed by leading UK music collectives running throughout the whole blissful summer.
