Blog about Croatia.... Frank's view.
Through Events in Croatia category, Frank would try to give you an overview of different events happening in Croatia throughout the year. Ok, lets be honest here, Croatia is not LA or New York, but there are some interesting events worth attending.
Croatia is really small country, so majority of events in the winter period take place in Zagreb, Croatian capital, while the rest of the country is more or less inactive. Starting from May throughout October, there are many events taking place in towns along the coast. Island of Pag becomes the center of clubbing holidays; Istria turns into Jazz destination, while Dubrovnik turns into an open stage during Dubrovnik Summer Festival.
Festivals in Croatia seem to increase in number every year. In the past few years, Croatia is set to become one of the hot party destinations.
