Cavtat Summer
The
annual series of cultural and entertainment
events lasting from the end of June until the
beginning of September. It contains various
cultural and entertainment programs, such as
dance and music shows, street performances,
classical music concerts, etc. All events are
free of charge.
Carnivals
The
carnival tradition in Cavtat is over a hundred
years old. It was the famous Croatian painter,
Vlaho Bukovac, who immortalized this tradition
by painting “The Cavtat Carnival” (property of
the Baltazar Bogišić Collection in Cavtat) at
the turn of the 20th century. The carnival organization Dominali has
preserved this tradition through the Carnival
Days of Cavtat, which is held during carnival
days and honors local customs and traditions,
and the Cavtat Summer Carnival, which is held on
the last weekend of July.
Easy-going fun is the trait of the summer carnival, with the performances of bands, street entertainers, jugglers and actors turning the whole town quay into a giant stage with a bit of fun for everyone. Konavle Festival
The
Festival is unique because events are held
in several locations in towns and villages
of the Konavle area: Cavtat, Čilipi,
Pridvorje and Gruda. The intention has been
to make top artistic achievements available
to a wide audience and reveal new ambient
locations in the process.
konavle-art.hr Dalmatian Singing Groups Festival
This
festival is held on the first weekend of
September and gathers 12 groups on the unique
stage location (the terrace of the Banac villa),
and has become one of the leading events of this
kind in Croatia in terms of quality.
The second day
is usually reserved for a concert of a guest
group on the summer stage, in front of the St.
Nicholas Church.
The festival was established by the Cavtat klapa “Ragusavecchia” (depicted on the picture above, on the right). Epidaurus Festival
