Croatian Festivals 2016: Garden Festival to Be Followed by Love International in Tisno.
Croatia is becoming known as one of the top festival destinations in Europe. One more for the list in 2016...
As one of the pioneering festivals in Croatia came to a close this summer, the organisers of the iconic The Garden Festival are not going quietly, and a new festival called Love International has been announced for June 2016, including organisers from The Garden. According to an article released by Resident Advisor:
"It's following in the footsteps of The Garden Festival, whose final edition took place in July. The Garden's founder, Nick Colgan, will be involved in this festival too, but the main directors are Dave Harvey and Tom Paine, known for their work with Love Saves the Day, The Love Inn, Wow at Glastonbury and Futureboogie. The first edition of Love International will run from June 29th through July 6th next year. Further details will be revealed over the coming months.
"We couldn't have wished for a better end to our decade-long odyssey here, it was a truly fantastic way to finish," says Colgan. "We also know our legacy is in really good hands, with Dave and Tom taking up the reins here next year. It has always been vitally important to us to keep everything growing here far into the future, and to do that now is the right time to let the guys fully loose in Croatia."
