Croatia offers exciting Festivals
Here I will post different festivals in Croatia. If you love festivals and want to visit Croatia, you might find the next festival you want to visit here.
Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik Summer Festival
Croatia’s biggest cultural bash is the Dubrovnik Summer Festival, 47 days and nights of classical music, theatre, opera and dance performances (mainly) around the Old Town. Something akin to Edinburgh without the fringe, it has been staging high-brow culture in Dubrovnik for more than 60 years. Shows bring Dubrovnik’s historic jewels to life.
Shakespeare is performed open-air at the Lovrijenac fortress, orchestras play at the Sponza Palace, piano soloists at the Cathedral, ballet takes place after dark outside St Blaise’s Church and all kinds of events have the moonlit City Walls as a backdrop. In all, some 70 venues are used – even Lokrum island.
Book ahead for the biggest events – for others you can pay on the door. For the most prestigious events, smart dress, although not obligatory, is expected. Also remember that there will be a number of free performances around the streets of the Old Town throughout festival time.
