Electric Elephant
The long weekend

From the creators of the legendary Electric Chair comes Electric Elephant….

We are heading off to the Adriatic coast of Croatia for a long August Bank Holiday weekend. Out of the basements and into the sunshine; far away to Croatia for music, love, sun, liberation, escape, sex, togetherness and freedom……the journey continues…out of the ashes rises the phoenix.

A long weekend or maybe a weeks holiday in a hidden paradise a hidden paradise named Petrcane (near Zadar) where we can all party together under under the sun, stars and moon… on a beautiful forrested coastline next to the deep blue adriatic sea… A crazy 70’s nightclub (where Studio 54 meets Badelli’s Cosmic club!!), a terraced bar on the ocean front, and an outside amphitheatre live stage in the pine trees all overlooking the islands..

We have gathered some of the finest international DJ’s and live artists . A wonderful wild mix of musicalness. Balaeric, spaced out beach parties, blissed out acoustic-folk, psychedelia on the moonlit stage , onto the club and outside to the terrace for late night futuristic jackin’ under the stars. Oh, and there’s a big old boat. A magical ship that sails everyday partying into the twilight. Cosmic, spiritual, happy journeys across the sea.

Petrcane is a beautiful little fishing village 900 years old with good, kind people and beautiful rustic restaurants… fresh fish caught that day… fruit and wine…and olive oil fresh from the local olive groves. There is camping in the woods, old cottages and villas on the sea front, sailing boats you can charter and explore the mystical islands; National Parks, waterfalls, mountains all a short drive away.
Its somewhere you can bring the kids and relax, or party with soul mates old and new.

This is a beautiful place. It’s enchanting. You’ll fall in love.

Into the light, into the sun, free your mind

Getting There

Getting to Croatia couldn’t be easier. Croatian Airlines fly out of London regularly to the main cities as do Easy Jet and Ryan Air. There also are many connecting flights into Germany via Lufthansa before connecting with Croatian Airlines.

The nearest airport to the festival is at Zadar (20 minutes by taxi) but there are plentiful flights to the capital Zagreb (2.5 hours) and Split (1.5 hours). Our colleagues in Petrcane will arrange transfers from Zagreb and Split. Check their website to apply for a transfer:

Flights

The nearest airport to the village of Petrcane is Zadar (its only 20 mins by taxi), followed by Split (1.5 hours by motorway route or 3 hours on coastal route), or Zagreb (2.5 hour). For those with more time for an adventure then other airport options are Rijeka (3 hours), Ljubljana (3.5 hours), Pula (4 hours), Trieste (4.5 hours) and Venice or Dubrovnik (6 hours).

Croatia Airlines is now the official airline of the Electric Elephant. For the best deals to Split and Zagreb you should telephone the Croatia Airlines London office on 020 8563 0022

It’s also worth looking at Croatian Airlines, as they still have a number of flight options under the 200 mark, especially if your willing to stay out there for a week or more, there are plenty of good deals out there.

We’d like to remind you that although Zagreb is a couple of hours drive away, the journey is along a spectacular mountain motorway, recently built and with amazing views. This could be a lovely adventurous way to start your holiday and also cheaper than flying directly to Zadar. Also, as we’ve mentioned, if you email the Garden Festival people they’ll arrange transfers from Zagreb to Zadar.
