The Garden Festival opened my eyes
The Garden Festival and Petrcane really opened my eyes to a whole new festival scene happening in Croatia. A beautiful place, amazing people and an eclectic music policy right up my street - and it was sunny from start to finish! I can’t wait to go back!

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.
