The Hideout festival

The Garden Festival
Now in its 8th season, there is no doubt that The Garden Festival is one of the most loved festival in Croatia. In 2015, The garden Festival changed its location from its home in Petrcane to just up the road in Tisno. The new location which is situated in the rocky Dalmatia coastline has everything you could want from a festival including the stunning beaches, numerous stages and Funktion 1 sound system to provide crisp music all day and all night long.
You can rely on The Garden festival for a perfect mix, a chilled atmosphere, a good vide and a fantastic crowd.
Electric elephant Festival
The Electric Elephant Festival follows immediately after the Garden Festival, so consider extending your trip and enjoy the five days and nights of music, sun and sea in a peaceful location along the Dalmation Coastline.
Just like the garden Festival, the Electric Elephant moved to Tisno in 2015, an isolated paradise located halfway between Split and zadar airports.
More than a festival, the Electric Elephant is a getaway, a holiday, an adventure and escape all combined in one. It evokes the original spirit of Ibiza that existed in the seventies and early eighties. You can choose to stay in the Indian Shikar tents or the onsite apartments or even assemble your own tent for a more adventurous experience.
Soundwave Festival
Soundwave Festival Croatia is emerging to be one of the finest boutique festivals. It is held at the same site as the garden Festival and it spreads over five days with most of the music acts happening over the weekend.
Accommodation can be found in the luxury boutique camping, in the onsite apartments or around the bay in Tisno fishing village. With chilled beach bars and beautiful views, you can still find fun activities even past the festival days.
Outlook Festival
Now in its fifth year, Outlook Festival is just what you need to unwind from the hustles and bustles in life. Set in an abandoned fort and surrounded by crystal clear sea, this festival creates a happy and warm atmosphere ideal to dance your days away.
The crowd here is friendly and energetic. With plenty of fun activities such as boat parties to the arenas and the beach parties, it is easy to see why this festival has attracted such a large following.
