Vukovar is set to welcome thousands of visitors once again as it hosts the 7th edition of the “SVI zaJEDNO HRVATSKO NAJ” festival on 3rd and 4th May.

One of Croatia’s most significant cultural and tourism events, the festival will open on Vukovar’s City Day, 3rd May, at a special new location – beneath the iconic Vukovar Water Tower, a symbol of the city and its resilience.

This year’s festival puts a special focus on children and young people, with events running under the themes “Young Guardians of Heritage” and “Little Creatives.”

Over two days, more than 20 different programmes will take place at key locations across the city, including Trg Republike Hrvatske, Korzo, and the Water Tower.

A rich display of Croatia’s intangible cultural heritage will be on show as folklore groups and cultural associations from all over the country perform as part of the Baština.HR programme.

A highlight of the festival is the Eko-Etno Fair, which will showcase traditional local products from small family farms (OPGs), handmade crafts, and eco-friendly goods.

The popular “Vukovar Dances” event will once again transform the city square into an open-air dance floor, inviting visitors to join in both traditional and modern dance styles.

As always, all festival events are free of charge. Organised by the City of Vukovar, the Vukovar Tourist Board, Organisers Without Borders agency, and the Croatian House “Materina priča,” the festival promises a unique experience for all generations, blending tradition with modern creativity.
