From July 9 to 12, 2026, the coastal town of Lovran in Croatia will host the eighth edition of the Adriatic Dance and Music Festival – an event that brings together cultures, rhythms, and traditions against the backdrop of the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea and the elegant atmosphere of the Opatija Riviera.

The festival is open to folklore ensembles, choirs, orchestras, majorette teams, modern dance groups, and music bands from around the world. Participants will have the opportunity to perform on an open-air stage by the sea and share their art in an inspiring international environment, with no age limits or restrictions on the number of participants.

The program includes not only festival performances but also opportunities to explore the region. Visits to Rijeka – with its rich history and cultural landmarks – are included, as well as various excursions along the Adriatic coast, such as boat trips to picturesque settlements, island visits, and natural attractions that enrich the overall experience.

The stage in Lovran will bring together artists from different countries, offering a space to exchange experiences, build new connections, and take part in a truly international cultural event that combines art, nature, and emotion.

Those wishing to take part in the festival can submit their applications and join this unforgettable experience on the Adriatic coast.
