July 29, 2020 - At a time when almost every event has been cancelled, the High Grounds Festival in Varaždinske Toplice lives on.

In northern Croatia, the town of Varaždinske Toplice is home to a forest in which The High Grounds Festival takes place. July 31 to August 2 are reserved for peaceful nature, high-quality music, lots of educational content, and good vibration features. "As a highlight of the festival is the exterior itself and alternative content that is not so much shown and referred to at festivals. The program is mostly in the woods with a large open meadow connected to the forest," event organizers told TCN.

Sunday is the only day with free entrance, so make sure you don't miss the comic book workshop, board gaming, circus aerial skills workshop, and fairy of handmade products. The main message from organizers is that this year, the HG music and educational festival connects people in the shade of the forest and spreads messages of love, peace, and togetherness - which we all need.
