May 5, 2023 – How to preserve the traditions of Dalmatia and beyond? Meet the concept of the ‘Olympics’ of Traditional Dalmatian Games.
Dalmatia is a fascinating region with SO much tradition and heritage, the majority of it very localised.
Many events and traditions are specific to an individual village. And many of these traditions are sadly dying out or being lost as young people prefer to be online if they have not emigrated.
Over the years, I have come across so many unique experiences in Dalmatia, (and other parts of Croatia), and I came up with an idea to help preserve some of these traditions, as well as make them more accessible to locals and tourists alike.
Meet the ‘Olympics’ of Traditional Dalmatian Games.
Do you know of a traditional game played in your village which we could include? We have about 35 already. Please leave info in the comments below.
And if you are interested in helping to make this idea a reality and have something concrete to contribute, please contact [email protected] Subject Dalmatian Games.
With thanks to Hvar TV for the excellent footage. If you want to learn a LOT more about Hvar and Dalmatia at a more local level, I cannot recommend this channel highly enough – https://www.youtube.com/@HvarTV
