Fishermen's Festivals in Vrsar

About the event:

Folk festival

The irresistible aroma of freshly grilled fish and the joyful gatherings with music and dance have been drawing visitors to Vrsar for years. What began as a small local gathering has blossomed into a vibrant summer celebration by the sea—where laughter, great company, and mouth-watering flavours create unforgettable memories.

Strolling along the Vrsar waterfront, you'll be tempted by an array of exquisite seafood dishes, showcasing the finest treasures of the Adriatic. And if you're lucky, you might even uncover a secret or two about preparing the traditional brodet—a signature dish of every Fishermen’s Festival. Each chef has their own closely guarded ingredient, making every bite a delicious surprise!

Raise a glass of top-quality Istrian Malvasia, sing along with the music, and let the festive spirit carry you away. This celebration of the sea and its bounty always continues long into the night.

Fun and games for children
Workshops for the youngest visitors are the most vibrant and lively part of the Fishermen’s Festival! Here, children can dive into a world of creativity with free workshops featuring drawing, aquarium-making, toy fish fishing, and other exciting hands-on activities.

Seafood and Istrian delicacies for gourmets
Themed gourmet stations offer an irresistible selection of white and blue fish, shellfish and fritto misto - there’s something to satisfy every seafood lover’s craving.
