The story

Makarska Cultural Summer in Makarska

Makarska Cultural Summer is an eighty-day civic program of roughly forty events, concerts, theatre, exhibitions and open-air cinema, running mid-June to early September across the town's waterfront and squares beneath Biokovo mountain. Its best-known strand, the Makarska Jazz Festival, is a multi-day event in late August.

Makarska Cultural Summer runs roughly eighty days from mid-June to early September, an umbrella program organized by the town rather than a single fixed event, stitching together somewhere around forty separate programs across the season: concerts, theatre performances both traditional and contemporary, exhibitions, film screenings and themed evenings staged around the town's waterfront and squares beneath Biokovo mountain.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Rather than one fixed lineup, Makarska Cultural Summer bundles named sub-programs, including the Makarska Jazz Festival and the Lito u gradu series, into a single umbrella calendar spanning roughly eighty days, letting the town rotate concerts, folklore and cinema through the full length of the tourist season instead of concentrating events into one weekend or a single fixed venue

02

The mystery stays covered

The model mirrors similar civic summer programs in Split and Hvar, reflecting a broader regional pattern of municipal cultural branding rather than a single promoter's festival
