As we slowly enter a new season, we are delighted to announce that Croatia Fest Production is expanding to new locations in 2027. Next year, we introduce three distinct editions that will shape our upcoming festival cycle:

In 2027, our groups will be able to choose the edition that suits them best - the charm of Istria, the Kvarner coastline, or the character of our beautiful islands.
And that’s not the only novelty coming in 2027… we’re preparing something special, and the reveal is just around the corner.

Starting tomorrow, we will announce the official 2027 dates for all four of our festivals:
