The Festival
This year sees the second Electric Elephant Festival held in the wonderful setting of Petrcane. The third and final of three excellent festivals to be held in the same setting - "The Garden" in the village of Petrcane, near Zadar - this one would be an excellent way of finishing off the summer festival season. (Not to mention that the weekend in question is a Bank Holiday in the UK - a perfect way of celebrating the long weekend!)
Organised by UK DJs and promoters Unabombers, this year's line-up is yet to be announced so be sure to "watch this space".
Here's an article from the Guardian from 2009, explaining the charms of the Electric Elephant Festival and Petrcane:

Tickets for the Garden Festival
Tickets are already available, and can be purchased from a number of UK-based ticket websites. See the festival's Line Up & Tickets page for more details.
Accommodation for the Festival
The Electric Elephant site is located within the grounds of the 4* Hotel Pinija, so this would be the easiest accommodation option! Check the link to see availability.

Getting to Petrcane

Buses are timed to coincide with flight arrivals to Zadar Airport that will take you to the main bus station in Zadar. You can then take another local bus to Petrcane or elsewhere in the nearby region.
A little further afield, Split is another possible airport to fly if you'd like some more options - see our Getting to Split page for air routes and more. And make sure you see our Getting There section for other possibilities in reaching Croatia. More info
