Dubrovnik, Croatia — Events
Dubrovnik Carnival
Dating back to the 14th century, the Dubrovnik Carnival still upholds many of the same traditions where people parade down the streets of Dubrovnik dressed in gaudy costumes while the sounds of drums and trumpets fill the air and events such as jousting competitions take place.
Dubrovnik Summer Festival
Few would question Dubrovnik’s claim as one of the most stunning cities on the planet, and during the summer months festivities take hold of this charming destination with a number of music, theater, fringe and fireworks performances. Visit the website for more details.
Julian Rachlin & Friends Chamber Music Festival
During the months of August and September, a series of six chamber concerts are held at Dubrovnik’s Rector’s Palace. Violinist Julian Rachlin hosts the event and is joined by musical greats as cellist Mischa Maisky, violinist Janine Jansen, and pianist Itamar Golan to name a few. The works of Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Shumann, Bach and Shostakovich are performed to an almost-always sold out audience - a must for all lovers of classical music.
