What comes after the most beautiful sunset? The most beautiful night. Especially when the moon is full. The Night of the Full Moon is a time machine – a festival of culture, food and customs of the Zadar region when the Riva is only illuminated by torches, candles, stars and the full moon. Enjoy the authentic food made using tuna, sardines, mussels, cheeses, figs, brandy and other ingredients served on ships, as well as the local folklore and customs.

Find out more in a variety of rowing competitions, demonstrations of fishing skills and exhibitions. All accompanied by music and, of course, tasty local fish specialities. Experience this unique fishermen's village under the full moon!

That’s what’s offered by the Sali Festival when the Sali ships sail into the Zadar harbour to the beats of tovar (donkey) music.
