At its regular location on the banks of the Sava by Hendrix Bridge, the Green River Festival is now running until September 22, its workshops, exhibitions and live performances creating a scenic summer hub of activity. The entire event is equipped with recycled materials and installations, maintained throughout by festival guests themselves.

Visitors can try their hand at various sports – badminton, rugby, table tennis – or watch an open-air film screening at sunset every Monday. Children can enjoy interactive workshops and shows. Quizzes, live music and stand-up comedy fill out the rest of the agenda, with cocktails and street food available on-site.

The festival was conceived by the Nature for All association, aiming to revive – with a modern twist – the historic beach-like atmosphere of the Sava embankment from decades past. It is an eco-friendly event that emphasises a harmonious relationship with nature, blending in with its surroundings and relying on solar power.

Each week’s schedule is posted onto the event’s Facebook page.

Where: Sava river, by Hendrix Bridge
When: Mon-Fri, Sun 6pm-midnight; Fri-Sat 6pm-2am
