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!
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. At Guardians, we believe that children deserve a festival experience as rich and exciting as the grown-ups! Our diverse kids’ program caters to all ages, giving little ones the space to play freely, explore, create, and connect.
Here, kids don’t just watch — they experience, experiment, and grow as they dive into a world of creativity, wonder, and endless discovery.
The children's program is divided into two groups — children aged 0 to 7 and children aged 8 to 14.
Guardians Fairyland for kids aged 0 to 7
Led by three heartful and playful pedagogs, Fairyland is a space where children can play freely, explore, and have fun. Through interactive corners, hands-on activities, creative games, and imaginative adventures, kids get to build, experiment, and discover new things while developing social skills, coordination, creativity, and confidence. The pedagogs support each child to try new experiences, make friends, and enjoy the wonder of learning through play, all in a safe and cheerful environment.
Guardians Camp for kids aged 8 to 14
Guardians Camp is an adventurous and engaging space guided by Matic Novak, an expert in working with children with ADHD, together with his two dedicated assistants. Here, children are encouraged to be curious, brave, and collaborative, with nature as the heart of their exploration and learning. Through fun challenges, creative activities, and a storytelling adventure that takes them deep into the world of natural elements, kids build confidence, teamwork, resilience, and mutual support. They learn to overcome fears, encourage one another, and discover their strengths, all while having unforgettable fun in a safe and inspiring environment.

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.

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:
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.
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.

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.
If you need a ride, contact us at info@guardiansfestival.com.
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!
Join our WhatsApp group ovdje. Later on, there will also be a ride-sharing table available where you can offer or look for a ride.
We envision the festival as a cinematic journey — immersing participants in the magic of sound, light, scent, and love that brings them all together.

Špela and Davorin are two simple people who seek inspiration and answers outside in nature and in the garden, and the whole thing is created in the kitchen under the name Sita Rita.
The food includes different flavors, wild foods and produce from their garden. Flavors are created with curiosity and love.
At the Guardians Festival, they will pamper us with delicious, healthy and nutritious meals for the third year in a row. Various vegan options will be available.
FeelRooty is a Slovenian brand with a vision to deliver well-being through innovative natural drinks. Their first product, MagicRooty, is a carefully crafted blend of adaptogenic herbs, medicinal mushrooms, and cacao – the perfect coffee alternative without energy crashes or nervousness.
MagicRooty supports concentration, reduces stress, and strengthens the immune system and brain function in the long run. It comes in two flavors – cacao with a more earthy taste and choco-cinnamon, enriched with powdered dates and cinnamon.
Chika – the ice cream that changes the game.
It all started with an idea: What if we could create an ice cream as creamy and rich as the best dairy ice creams, yet made with ingredients you can truly trust? And so, Chika was born – an ice cream that proves you don’t have to compromise on taste or quality.
Their secret? A carefully selected chickpea base that ensures the perfect texture, making Chika irresistibly smooth. They’ve added only the finest ingredients and experimented to create flavors that captivate from the very first bite. From classic to bold – Chika ice cream is an experience.
