The story

Porec Open Air Festival in Porec

Porec Open Air Festival runs free daily programming across street performance, music, cinema and theatre from early June through mid-September, drawing more than 50,000 visitors to the Istrian coastal town and winning the Istria Tourist Board's Golden Goat award for festivals in 2016. Music nights have included tribute performances for major international acts.

Porec Open Air Festival was created as an initiative to enrich the town's summer tourist offering with cultural and entertainment programming rather than relying solely on beaches and coastal scenery to hold visitors' attention through the season.
