CURRENCY INFORMATION

ATTENTION! The festival site would like to bring to your attention that Croatia operates its own currency KUNA. Only this, NOT EUROS will be accepted on the site. Unfortunately there are few facilities to withdraw money onsite, so we strongly recommend taking KUNA with you.

Note that the site is primarily a small fishing village, although ZADAR is only a short drive for all international banks.

Can I bring my family?

Hotel Pinija provides entertainment for children during the day and has an awesome indoor swimming pool as well as crazy golf, tennis and volleyball courts. The festival site itself will accommodate children and has a small adventure playground.

Other activities outside the festival?

Previous visitors have spoken of visiting national parks, deserted islands, sailing trips, horse riding and historical cities, declaring there is lots to explore outside the festival complex, so why not make it a holiday of a week or two?
