You can’t say you’ve been to Pag unless you have bought an authentic Croatian souvenir included on the UNESCO World Heritage List – the Pag lace. The centuries long tradition is passed from generation to generation. Each lace is unique and a product of painstaking handwork. If you are looking for one or want to expand your collection, the International Lace Festival is the place to be. Enjoy numerous exhibitions, workshops, scenes, a fashion show and the local customs.

What makes this festival stand out from the rest is its mission: “serious music through serious performances for a serious audience”. You can enjoy the music by young Croatian musicians, local groups and various art events at the new concert areas, such as the Old Town of Pag, Church of St. Francis, Kolan Cultural Centre and the Gardens of Lunj Olive Trees. Even though this is serious art, you will spend a relaxed evening in a beautiful atmosphere.

The Cheese Festival is an event celebrating the Pag cheese and its place of origin – Kolan, a small coastal village. Cheese lovers watch out for wine and olive oil, the ultimate cheese companions. Even if you are not into cheese, you can still enjoy the rich cultural and entertainment program.
