The concert began after the parade of Croatian veterans marched with their flags from war, and the organizers said there were about 80,000 people on the famous waterfront promenade for the Victory Day celebration. The electricity was cut off on the Riva on two occasions, though it did not interfere with the crowd, who continued to sing even without the music.
