Events in Istria

Istria is a region where something interesting is happening all year round. Of course, the summer is particularly special. Anyone who comes on holiday here during the summer will find themselves in a wonderful dilemma because every corner of Istria has many cultural, entertaining, artistic and gastronomic events. Events in the historical centre of Poreč are a real lure for visitors, since in the summer it becomes a stage that hosts top artists, producers and entertainers from all parts of the world. You will definitely have fun at events such as the “Jazz in Lapidarium, “Concerts at the Euphrasius Basilica”, the “Street&Art festival” and “Poreč Summer.” The concerts that are held in the Arena as a part of the Histria Festival, the visits by the world’s greatest stars, the Motovun Film Festival that stands out because of its charm and soul, the entertaining concerts, the jazz and a cappella music, the folk and fishing festivals, the wine and culinary events, the exhibitions, and art workshops are only a part of the rich mosaic that makes Istria a top destination for tourists.
