The fifth edition of the Green River Fest, inspired by sustainability and the beauty of nature, brings you an experience that will make you fall in love with Zagreb’s summer. From July 19th to September 22nd, you can expect a series of activities that will delight all your senses. We are reviving Zagreb’s bathing and sunbathing culture in a sustainable spirit.

We invite you to join in reviving the tradition of the Sava bathing and sunbathing meadow by the Hendrix Bridge. Here, a variety of programs will take place—from movie screenings under the stars, cultural evenings with literary and musical guests, to sports competitions and educational workshops for children and adults, and of course, excellent musical programs.

For the opening weekend on July 19th, you will be welcomed by Jabuka as Guests with “Night of Faith And Devotion” and the iconic DJ FUKI, while Saturday, July 20th, is reserved for romance and the Pannonian Sailor with Neke Nove Klince. The last week of July is reserved for friends from Africa, so from July 24th to 28th, you can take a walk through the African continent and enjoy African rhythms through workshops, culture, fashion, and gastronomy!

Enjoy the warmth of summer with Solar Showers and create refreshing moments at our Solar Beach with inflatables. Our beach guard, the catfish Jura, returns to the beach, accompanied by water lilies, storks, and turtles. Thanks to solar panels and sun energy, Jura and the gang, along with the water lilies, light up in the dark as the main festival attractions, inviting you to socialize by the river Sava.

Catch the sports fever at Green River Fest! Try your hand at various sports such as badminton, beach volleyball, grass rugby, table tennis, and much more. If you prefer relaxing on the river beach, you can simply play cards like belote, schnaps, or preference.

Cultural treats will not be lacking either! We are bringing back the Cinema on the Sava on Mondays in cooperation with local film festivals. Guests include Animafest, Liburnia Film Festival, Pula Film Festival, and the Motovun Film Festival Project. CINEHILL will open the season of the Sava cinema and announce the 25th edition that awaits you in Delnice from July 24th to 28th, 2024. We will also watch good old hits like The Elm-Chanted Forest, The Magician’s Hat, and the Oscar-winning Surrogate. Enjoy literary and musical evenings on Tuesdays or join us for the iconic Babinjak on Wednesdays where we will host many inspiring, popular, and strong women, and we are also preparing exhibitions. The youngest ones can look forward to creative workshops and fun performances. Marina Orsag and the Studio Smijeha are preparing an excellent stand-up program.

There is no better way to spend an evening than with pub quizzes, board games, and storytelling on the beach with refreshing cocktails and laughter with friends. Show your knowledge and win great prizes!

In addition to all this, the Green River Fest proudly announces a rich music program, Silent Party, and various guests from around the world who will enrich your summer evenings. From young upcoming talents to already established performers, the music along the Sava will be unforgettable.

The program also includes the traditional Miss Sava and Sava Tarzan competition, as well as the unavoidable Fishermen’s Night where we will prepare carp on sticks and delicious fish stew. A significant part of the program is also the gastronomic magic at the Langosh bar with langos served in various ways and a wide selection of refreshments at the Beach bar.

But… that’s not all… because the summer will be loooong and waaarm, so expect the unexpected 

Entrance to the Green River Fest is free for all visitors, and you can follow the detailed event schedule on social media and the website. Join us in creating unforgettable moments on the banks of the river Sava!
