A FOUR DAY-LONG COMPANIONSHIP IN NATURE: EKODROM FESTIVAL, CROATIA

Ekodrom Festival is a four day-long companionship in nature – sharing knowledge and skills, enjoying music and dance, creating a society of active people, on local and global scale, protecting the environment and natural resources.
Through the synergy of rural and urban aspects of life, Ekodrom Festival promotes important but neglected values as well as culture based on togetherness, tolerance and appreciating differences.
Location & Camping
The Festival takes place on a village estate in Bukovica Utinjska. The estate comprises of a few objects that enclose the yard and in that way create the center of festival activities, and the main stage is set there. Some workshops and lectures are located in surrounding woods and meadows. The camping site is located only 2 minutes of walk from the yard and is situated in a beautiful hornbeam forest.
