The festivities will continue on the day of the St. Roko, the patron of the city in August and the actual celebration will take place in September – as a 4 days manifestation “Days in the Bay” (September 8 – 11, 2016).
Days in the Bay will be a celebration of the oldest civilisation in Croatia by a regatta of traditional wooden boats, exhibitions, workshops, gatherings, promotions and tastings of local food and wine and much more.
Interesting year for Stari Grad, we hope to bring you more information as we have it. Here is a short trailer for the Days in the Bay event.
