Festivals and cultural events Zadar & Šibenik

The storytellers meet the public, young and old, in the town squares to share their stories and legends. The magical heritage of the Gorski Kotar/Lika region, nature, the mysteries of the mountains, forests and castles, but also the tumultuous history around Ogulin and folk traditions. A true intangible heritage, this oral folklore has been enhanced by the authors of children's stories, Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić and Priče iz Davnine.

Fort Punta Christo near Pula is no longer big enough to accommodate all festivalgoers. But it is not the end of the Seasplash Festival, which has taken up residence in Central Dalmatia on the island of Martinska, off the coast of Šibenik to the delight of ska, reggae, ragga, dancehall and other fans. International artists but also Croatian because the Jamaican style is very appreciated here. Take the ferry to the port of Šibenik or the taxi boat, 24-hour trips (departure in front of the Azimut bar).

Defected Records is a British music label. Based on their English experience in Ibiza, New York or Miami, the organisers created Defected Croatia, which has become the house music festival par excellence, with parties comparable in quality to those in Ibiza. Whether you are on the beach, on a boat or on the coast (Barbarella club), the best international DJs follow one another on the decks. Line up to discover on the website from the beginning of the year. Possibility to book a package with accommodation and entrance tickets to the festival.
