Split Summer Festival
Split, Dalmatia, Croatia
Last updated: 04 April, 2024
Staged each summer between mid-July and mid-August, this festival sees Croatian and foreign artists performing opera, drama, ballet and music concerts.
What makes this festival so memorable and atmospheric, however, is the often stunning open-air venues, including the 19th-century Prokurative Square in the old town and the Mestrovic Gallery overlooking the sea.
