Summer festivals in Croatia have really taken off during the past decade – party-goers flock to the Adriatic coast not only for fantastic DJ line-ups but also for stunning locations and plenty of sunshine. Nightclubs under the stars, buzzing boat parties and beach-side stages create experiences as memorable for the atmosphere as the music. Many summer festivals in Croatia now take place at the beautiful Garden Resort in Tisno, a venue that features a stage in an olive grove, plus a pair of party boats.

Extending your festival experience into a longer holiday is an excellent way to wind down after days and nights of partying. A villa with a pool gives you not only the ideal chance to relax but also a chance to explore a bit more of Croatia. For some, the perfect festival experience means choosing a villa a drive away from the festival itself, and spending a few days after the festival chilling out and maybe visiting a few local towns.

It’s so exciting that the 2020 Croatian music festival calendar is now really full – however, it’s not always easy to find up-to-date information about what’s on.
