Testimonials The Garden Festival 2012.
Date: 23.10.2012.
“One of the prime locations for any festival in Europe, impeccable programming, friendly crowd, fantastic organisation, great weather and fun that lasts all day and night. It really is difficult to beat Garden Festival if you are looking for the perfect summer European festival experience.” Charlie Taar - Data Transmission
“Tisno is without doubt the new ‘self-contained’ location the team behind The Garden Festival have been looking for all along. With a great waterside/beach stage, the Argonaughty boat parties docking in the bay, ample main stage space & onsite apartments/boutique camping/restaurant/facilities everything was set for an amazing week of parties on the Adriatic coast. But perhaps the biggest surprise and trump card was how well the outdoor club, Barbarellas, worked night after night after night. The town itself proved to be very popular and another welcome upgrade from the previous site in Petrcane - for alternative accommodation options and it’s many restaurants, shops, bars & cafes – not to mention wifi, ATMs, water taxis & water park! Here’s to a very successful Garden Festival 2012, and many more to come!” Andy Taylor – Evening Standard
“I would thoroughly recommend the Garden Festival for the music, location and the people! Guaranteed sunny weather and making new friends- what more could you wish for, from a summer holiday? This year was my second visit and I think the new venue is just about perfect.” Sara Darling – Fault Magazine
"TGF takes fun in the sun to a whole new level. The perfect mix of boat parties, beach parties and after parties, this festival is worth the extra travel. All set against a stunning Croatian backdrop and bright blue seas, this is hedonism, redefined. If you missed it last year, don't make the same mistake twice." Emily Wright - Evening Standard
“If you like cocktails, dancing on the beach, twice daily boat parties all in an intimate, beautiful setting on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, then Garden Festival Croatia is the place for you. The crowd is a combination of old Ibiza heads, younger party lovers and those in the middle who come to combine their love of festival fun with a beach holiday drenched in hot sunshine. For hedonistic types, the option to make fun the focus for five days is very well catered for - an eclectic mix of international DJ talent keeps the dance floor and boat parties moving with a selection of Funk, Soul, House and Disco from dusk till dawn. There is also the option to take a more laid back approach and focus some time on a chilled holiday vibe as Garden Festival is set a short stroll away from a pretty, unspoilt Croatian fishing town with a selection of restaurants and bars set around its harbour. I can safely say my days of traipsing through muddy fields in the UK are over!” Anna Wharton – Faith, Defected and Ibiza Voice
“Garden Festival was my favourite festival of 2012. Simply the best crowd of people, completely chilled atmosphere, you can party all night outside and still feel like you’ve been on a relaxing holiday. It’s all peace and love at Garden.” Samara – U Groove
“Instead of pitching a tent in the rain and trying to dance in knee-deep mud, try a beautiful apartment a stone's throw from perfect crystal waters sparkling in sunshine and sipping cocktails on exclusive boat parties. Garden Festival is the ultimate overseas festival ticket – with seven full days of partying to enjoy, endless music from some of the planet's most exciting DJs and beautiful, friendly crowds. Oh, and they've even imported the finest imported cider – Somersbys. In a word: GO.” Emma Ledger – Look Magazine
“Prodigiously spellbinding is one way of describing my last 2 weeks in Tisno, lapping up The Garden Festival and Electric Elephant at their brand new site. Another, simpler way of describing my experience would quite simply be magic, organised to a very T by an experienced, family-orientated team. These guys are the quiet leaders of the Croatian festival scene, two families taking up permanent residencies out here years ago and making new lives, whilst throwing the best parties the country has to offer.” Paul Hutchinson – Waxxx Magazine
“Croatia continues to give electronic dance music pleasant new locations to enjoy a festival experience. The Garden Festival carries on that trend as it played host to its new home, Tisno.” Kag – Movement Magazine
"If you've always wanted to get away to an all-inclusive resort but prefer emerging dance music to wife-swapping or large families, then The Garden Festival is for you. Typically the festival mentality is a two to three day wham-bam-thank you ma'am whirlwind. Not so at Garden. With one week to see the music, the grounds, the beach and the surrounding town and its sights, it's the most relaxed way to take in the best music. It's truly a family affair from the booking to the artists who casually troll the campgrounds happily chatting up festival goers in the know to the love in the air. Friends are made, seafood is consumed and not dancing is not an option; especially at the magical afterhours club land equivalent of Narnia, Barbarellas. Dobrodošli to Garden." Chris Tarantino - WFMU, Village Voice
