Legendary memories
The Garden Festival, Petrcane, has cooked up a dream recipe for a great festival, that many others will never live up to - chilled out glorious day times, full of care-free sunbathing, massages, great food, the best tunes to lounge to and being surrounded by like-minded lovely people, but come the evening time you’ll find yourself fully immersed in the energetic and fun vibe – as well as the amazing music. Dancing on the beach-front bar on one of the legendary boat parties as the sun goes down are memories that Garden Festival goers will never, ever forget!

festival story
How it all began...
By 2005 The Garden Zadar had already established itself as one of the best loved and most musically adventurous additions to Croatians nightlife and culture. So much so that the owners of the Pinija Hotel in the nearby village of Petrcane approached us about taking on an event space which had been dormant for some years.
