Family-friendly festival that unites people who share a vision of a more loving world!

Guardians Festival is a five-day journey held in pristine nature, right by the Kolpa river. It’s an alcohol-free space where families and friends gather to celebrate life through music, dance, and rituals. Together, we co-create a vision of a more loving world and carry it back into our everyday lives.

The festival will be entirely held in English, featuring performances by incredible local and international artists, speakers, and visionaries.

Guardians Festival welcomes dreamers, visionaries, artists, healers, free spirits, spiritual seekers, families – all who feel the vision of a more loving world.

Guardians Festival is a family-friendly festival that unites people who share a vision of a more loving world!

• A healing space where our inner guardians awaken and our hearts open wide, guiding us to protect what is sacred.
  
• Guardians Festival is a community-centered event. Only as one can we remember who we are and rise together in unity.
  
• This festival it’s not just an event - it’s a living vision of a world we believe in! Are you ready to be part of it?
  

Naša je vizija tijekom festivala oživjeti taj svijet iz snova – iskustvo toliko snažno da ga sudionici ponesu sa sobom u svakodnevicu, inspirirani da stvaraju takav svijet gdje god krenuli.

The name Guardians carries the essence of what the festival stands for. It reminds us to awaken and remember the inner Guardian within each of us, the one who protects life, the Earth, the sacred, the family, the circle of community, and the ancient ways of ceremony.

At the festival, we gather as guardians from all winds; keepers of wisdom, love, and presence, who remember that true guardianship begins within, through awareness, compassion, and conscious action.

Our logo, depicting Thoth, the ancient Egyptian god of wisdom and truth, symbolizes this timeless role of the guardian — the keeper of divine order, the bridge between heaven and earth, and the protector of the sacred.

Absolutely! Guardians Festival warmly welcomes families. We offer a variety of activities for adults, including music program, rituals and ceremonies, movement workshops, creative workshops, educational workshops, and a dedicated space for kids to explore, play, and connect.

At the main festival venue, there will be a special space Guardians Fairyland dedicated to kids aged 0 to 9, where both kids and their families can enjoy a variety of activities.

In the nearby forest, the secret Guardians Camp — guided by Matic Novak — will come to life during the festival, designed especially for kids aged 10 to 14. There, they will experience a diverse program of activities created to their age and curiosity.

Djeca do 14 godina imaju besplatan ulaz na festival.

Guardians Festival is organised by Armida d.o.o., founded by Miha Itanimon Korošec.

During Guardians Festival 2025, we created seven unique stages and spaces, each carrying its own energy and purpose. Together forming a multidimensional journey through music, workshops, and ceremonies.

• Guardians – The festival’s main stage, home to larger activities, ecstatic dances, and musical performances that bring the community together.
  
• Anubis – A ceremonial stage by the fire, hosting vocal workshops, sound baths, and ceremonial concerts under the open sky.
  
• Sirius – Set by the Kolpa River and lit by a disco ball, this space features daytime electronic music, ecstatic dances, martial arts practices, and yoga sessions.
  
• Amenti – Dedicated to movement and experiential workshops, where the body becomes a gateway to presence and flow.
• Thoth – The educational temple of the festival, offering talks, lectures, panel discussions, and learning experiences that expand awareness.
• Hathor – The creative space, where participants can express themselves through art, and co-creation workshops.
• Gaia – A tipi tent with a sacred fire, hosting ceremonies, intimate rituals, and deep experiential workshops.
  

Not all stages may remain the same. In 2026, we are preparing an even deeper and more mystical experience, where each space will further evolve in its symbolism, purpose, and energy, inviting participants into an ever-expanding journey of transformation and unity.

Naš prekrasni festivalski prostor nalazi se u Kostelu, u Sloveniji - zelenom srcu Europe.

Guardians Festival okuplja strastvene kuhare koji će na Food pointu pripremati ukusnu i zdravu hranu, uz bogatu ponudu veganskih opcija. 

At the Fresh Point, our team will treat you with refreshing drinks, fresh fruit, and delicious chickpea vegan ice cream.

Obje točke, Food Point i Fresh Point, nalaze se na glavnoj festivalskoj lokaciji.

Iako smo svi strastveni ljubitelji životinja, ove smo godine odlučili zabraniti ulazak pasa i drugih životinja u kamp i festivalski prostor. Ova je odluka donesena prvenstveno radi sigurnosti naših najmlađih. 

For all dog owners, we’ve partnered with Smrček Dog Hotel, which offers safe and loving care for your dog while you enjoy the festival.

Smrček Dog Hotel is located just over an hour’s drive from the festival venue (on the way if you're coming from Ljubljana) and provides full dog care for only €25 per day.

You can find more information on their website. For reservations or additional questions, contact them at +386 41 471 234 or via email at s3tof@siol.net.

The festival takes place in all weather conditions. And honestly, based on our past festivals and events, we seem to have pretty good connections with the weather spirits ;)

In case of rain, there’s no need to worry. We have several large tents and covered areas across the festival grounds where you can comfortably move your body, attend workshops, or simply relax until the sun returns.

So come prepared, but trust that the spirits are usually on our side.

The campsite opens on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, at 4PM with an early arrival pass (25€ per person) and closes on Monday, August 10, at 10 AM. 

Standardno kampiranje uključeno je u cijenu festivalske ulaznice; međutim, potrebno je ponijeti vlastitu opremu za kampiranje. 

Kamp se nalazi u ugodnom, sjenovitom zaklonu šume. Opremljen je toaletima, umivaonicima i tuševima. Napominjemo da tuševi nemaju toplu vodu.

You can also stay in your campervan or sleep in your car. See below.

There is a special part of the campsite dedicated for campervans and cars.

If you are arriving at the festival with a campervan or planning to sleep in your car, you need to purchase a special ticket. There are three options available:

• Sleeping in a car / Tent on a car (35 €)
• Standardni parking za kampere (20€) (35€)
• Parking za kampere s priključkom za struju (45€) (75€)
  

In each case, your vehicle will be parked inside the fenced area of the festival campsite.

Kartu za kamper možete kupiti u našem ticket shopu. Broj parkirnih mjesta s priključkom za struju je ograničen.

Please note that the campervan area is separated from the tent area. You may set up a shade in front of your campervan or car, but you cannot camp together with friends who have tents.

If camping isn’t your thing, don’t worry – there are plenty of cozy accommodations available near the festival grounds.

You can find a full list of nearby hosts, along with their contact details for inquiries and bookings, at the following poveznicu.

• Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJU) – approx. 95 km, about 1 hour 50 minutes drive

If you're traveling from abroad, we recommend flying into either Zagreb or Ljubljana Airport – both are convenient and offer easy access to the festival.

You can rent a car at either airport and drive directly to the festival. Driving time from Zagreb Airport is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, and from Ljubljana Airport about 1 hour and 40 minutes.

If you prefer not to rent a car, there are also other ways to reach the festival from the airports.

Ljubljana Airport → Festival venue

After landing, take a shuttle service (such as Nomago or GoOpti) to the center of Ljubljana. You can also take a taxi.

From the Ljubljana main bus station, take a bus to Fara-Vas – check the schedule and tickets via Nomago, and look for the route: Ljubljana AP → Fara-Vas.

On Thursday (Aug 7) and Friday (Aug 8) there are three daily departures: 08:15 → 11:00, 12:15 → 14:45, and 14:15 → 16:20. There are no bus departures on Saturday or Sunday for this route.

On Monday (Aug 10), return options to Ljubljana include four departures: 06:04 → 08:44, 08:34 → 10:44, 13:34 → 15:44, and 16:04 → 18:44.

From Fara-Vas bus station, the festival grounds are just a few minutes’ walk away.

Zagreb Airport → Festival venue

There are no direct public transport connections from Zagreb Airport to the festival.
However, if there is enough demand, we will organize a shuttle directly from the airport to the venue.

We also have a WhatsApp group where participants can offer or request rides. You’ll find the link below on this page.

If you're looking for a ride or have space in your car, we invite you to join our WhatsApp group for ride sharing. It’s a great way to connect with other participants and share the journey to the festival.

Ride sharing is not only practical – it’s also eco-friendly. Together, we reduce our carbon footprint and create meaningful connections even before the festival begins!
