Reviews of Festivals in Croatia

Unsurprisingly, almost all of the festivals that are held in Croatia are very highly regarded and well-reviewed by the music press. Here are some reviews of festivals held in previous years:

Other Festivals

The very well-known Exit Festival is held in the neighbouring country of Serbia and is an amazingly fun event to attend – and perfect for combining with a holiday in Croatia.

First held in 2000 as a protest against the political system at the time, Exit has now grown considerably to become one of Europe’s top festivals.

Held in the impressive Petrovaradin Fortress at night-time (festival hours are 9pm to 6am each day), many head to Exit as a chance to experience an incredibly fun – not to mention eclectic – foreign festival in a cheaper setting.

Check out the Exit Festival website for more details on the event. Visit Croatia attended the 2009 Exit Festival – read up on my experiences, as well as hints and tips that may be useful to you!

The team behind the Exit Festival have also expanded to host multiple festivals in different countries in this part of the world. As well as the Sea Star Festival in Croatia (see above), there’s the Sea Dance Festival in Budva, Montenegro and the No Sleep Festival in Belgrade, Serbia – amongst others.
