Croatia Folk Fest

Croatia Folk Fest will fill Novigrad's Veliki trg square three times, twice in July and once in August, with colourful folk dresses and a variety of folk music, song and dance. Audiences attending this event will experience beautiful folklore performances presenting the rich traditions of top ensembles from across Europe.

The sound of traditional instruments, folk songs and dance steps will echo across the vibrant Veliki trg square, as the city's patron St. Pelagius looks over watchfully from the top of the city bell tower. It will be a true celebration of tradition and folklore that both audiences and performers are sure to enjoy – just like in years before!
