If you've ever wished your Saturday morning could be like a scene from a movie, with friends laughing on the grass, coffee smelling, music playing in the background, while the city is still asleep, Après Run is just that. Like a summer party that happens while most people are still searching for the snooze button, this event offers a rare opportunity to start the day with full energy, at a leisurely pace, and in the company of people who are also choosing to consciously slow down instead of the usual city hustle and bustle.
Because, as the character from Before Sunrise says:
“You know what's the worst thing about being awake at 6 am? Nothing. Nothing at all.”
And indeed, there is something almost cinematically magical about finding music, people, and a rhythm on a Saturday morning that doesn't speed up your pulse, but rather puts it back in its right place.
When and where?
This Saturday, May 24th, from 9 am to 1 pm, in a hidden green oasis called Vrtuljak, located right next to the Sava River.

Behind the idea are people, and behind the people is a story
Filipa and Kruno, engaged since high school, are the initiators of this small movement that wants to change the way we experience Saturday mornings. They decided to turn their daily walk from Vrban to Vrtuljek into something worth waking up for on the weekends. They weren't looking for a formula for “just another event,” but a way to share what makes them happy, and that's how Après Run was born.
Who is in the story?
Luna the DJ will provide the music, the Tight Two creative duo will provide the video, and when you get hungry, there's Bread Club. No event would be complete without refreshments, so cocktails with humorous names like the Sava Sunrise Spritz, Anticardio, Negroni DNR (Did Not Run) and Summer Body will take care of that. And of course, coffee.
Saturday, 24.05. | 9:00 – 13:00 | Carousel (along the Sava River)
