What makes this festival stand out from the rest is its mission: “serious music through serious performances for a serious audience”. You can enjoy the music by young Croatian musicians, local groups and various art events at the new concert areas, such as the Old Town of Pag, Church of St. Francis, Kolan Cultural Centre and the Gardens of Lunj Olive Trees. Even though this is serious art, you will spend a relaxed evening in a beautiful atmosphere.

To celebrate love, Nin is hosting a Romantic Week where a handful of surprises awaits visitors: a romantic arc of love on a romantic bridge, a place for kisses, a wall of memories, a romantic dance floor, the opportunity to take a photo with historical characters in costume… all under the starry eyed sky and ending with a fireworks show over the historic town!

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. Following the first night of festivities refresh yourself with delicacies offered at the Fishermen’s Night and prepare for the third day filled with unusual sports competitions such as the spectacular race this festival ends with – the traditional Donkey Race!

Its 8 kilometer long sandy beaches are known for their quality sand and clean sea. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Sand Festival takes place there giving artists, residents, tourists and children an opportunity to show their sculpting talent in the making of sand creations. And when you exhaust your art ideas, get refreshed in the sea (and sand)!
