Your practical questions about Paradies Garten, answered.

Located in an idyllic castle park, long since forgotten by the outside world, lies a lush garden surrounded by unique nature. As we navigate through the park, by derelict buildings and relics of the past, towards an abandoned castle, our curiosity grows and the dissonance of real life fades into the night.

Together, let's envision a vibrant community where diversity thrives, fostering meaningful conversations and unforgettable connections. Picture a place pulsating with the unique energy ignited when people unite through music—a collective journey that delves into the essence of sound, evoking profound emotions and radiating boundless optimism for the future.

It is a magical gathering of extraordinary people, a deep connection among like-minded individuals dancing to the captivating sounds of the world's best electronic artists. Good times lie ahead, and everyone's invited!

Paradies Garten is committed to driving the shift towards greater environmental responsibility in our society. Sustainability is ingrained in our DNA, guiding us to minimize our ecological footprint from inception. Moreover, we're dedicated to bolstering Austria's local music scene, considering it integral to our mission to showcase a diverse lineup of artists spanning the club and underground music spectrum at our festival.  

Our aim is to cultivate an atmosphere that delivers a profound and uplifting experience, meticulously crafted through attention to detail in production, line-up curation, and communication while keeping focus on the essence of the festival journey: a fired-up dance floor full of energy and happy faces.

Paradies Garten Festival is a daytime focused experience, ensuring lively dance floors from noon onwards. This approach not only fosters the discovery of talented emerging artists, a cause close to our hearts, but also demonstrates respect for our local community and their need for peace and tranquility.

At each event, our priority is to minimize our environmental impact by focusing on three key factors: 1) reducing CO2 emissions, 2) implementing effective waste management strategies to minimize waste, and 3) raising awareness about climate issues. Through these principles, we aim to foster a vibrant and inclusive community around our festival, while forging sustainable connections with our neighbors and partners.

The organizers of Paradise Garden have a proven track record in sustainable event management, having successfully hosted the Paradise City Festival near Brussels since 2015. Paradise City has garnered international acclaim for its environmental stewardship and has held the title of the most sustainable festival in the global industry since 2024. Awarded four stars from the esteemed "Greener Festival Award" for the third consecutive time, Paradise City stands among only six festivals worldwide with this prestigious rating.

Paradise Garden Festival 2025 will take place on 1, 2 and 3 August.

Paradies Garden Festival takes place at Schloss Prugg in Bruck an der Leitha, only about 35 km south-east of Vienna and 20 km from Vienna International Airport. The campsite is located in the center of the beautiful Harrachpark and is only a 5-minute walk from our festival site.

Paradies Garten Festival is a daytime focused experience. This approach means music spaces are full of energy from early in the day (starting at 12:00), helping us to support the discovery of incredible emerging artists — something we are very passionate about. It also means everyone gets to sleep and eat in a way that is conducive to feeling good.

Paradies Garten Festival unfolds amidst the picturesque setting of a sprawling park near the town of Bruck a.d. Leitha. To respect our surroundings and show consideration for our neighbors, we prioritize maintaining a peaceful atmosphere during nighttime hours.
