The story

Vis Summer Festival in Vis

Vis Cultural Summer spans roughly sixty days across July and August, spreading concerts, exhibitions and culinary events across the island's squares, fortresses, wine cellars and villages beyond the two main towns. Fixed highlights include Vis Night on the last July Saturday and Komiza's free Fishermen's Night the following Saturday.

Vis Cultural Summer runs roughly sixty days across July and August on the island of Vis, the most remote of the inhabited central Dalmatian islands, and like similar programs on Hvar and in Makarska it functions as a rotating civic calendar rather than one fixed event, spreading educational, cultural-artistic, entertainment and culinary programming across squares, old fortresses, churches, wine cellars, the town waterfront and outlying villages.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The Poetry Evening in the Green Cave sends boats of visitors sailing into a sea cave specifically to hear klapa singing and poetry read aloud in its natural acoustics, an event built entirely around a geological feature rather than a constructed stage, distinguishing Vis's cultural summer from festivals held in conventional venues elsewhere on the Dalmatian coast and islands

02

The mystery stays covered

Because Vis only reopened to independent tourism after 1989, its cultural summer programming remains comparatively younger and smaller in scale than older island festivals such as Hvar's long-running event
