Fresh Island Festival 2019

Zrce Beach, Pag Island, Croatia

Fresh Island 2019: Croatia’s Hottest Beach Music Festival 

This summer, all roads lead to the sultry Zrce Beach, Croatia. For three whole days, this corner of paradise transforms into a week-long urban music beach party for Fresh Island. Bump and grind by the pool, sip champagne on the boat parties, and throw your hands up in the air at the open-air clubs. Be as laid back or as hedonistic as you please: this event is all about the good times and the hip-hop. In between the dancing, make sure to carve some time out to indulge in the gorgeous beaches where you can sip cocktails with a view, go jet skiing, bungee jumping, or better yet, go swimming in the sparkling azure waters of the Adriatic Sea (tip: it’s the best way to nurse your hangover!).

‘Fresh Island has a reputation for throwing insane beach parties that will put Spring Break to shame.’

If this is what your idea of a good time sounds like, you’re not going to want to miss out on this. Europe’s very first hip-hop and R&B beach festival only continues to grow in legendary scale each year, attracting a huge crowd of partygoers from all over the continent. Zrce Beach will be your very own paradise, complete with all the trimmings of what can only be an unforgettable summer party. Legendary names such as Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, A$AP Rocky, Giggs, Migos, Action Bronson, and many more have graced the event in the past. No doubt, the 2019 lineup will get you even more excited, so stay tuned!
