Hugh Montgomery Observer
The most memorable moments
This was a festival whose most memorable moments were rooted in ambience rather than musicanship; basking in a spectacular sunsent which dancing at the beach-front bar or catching one of the twice daily boat parties, where a set from Liverpool's No Fakin' DJs climaxed in a mass rendition of You've Got The Love.

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.
