Are you ready to witness a one-of-a-kind spectacle that blends ancient island skills with modern-day fun? The Otočko natjecanje u praćanju (Island Slingshot Competition) is returning to the Island of Pašman, bringing together precision, nostalgia, and a fantastic summer atmosphere. If you are searching for authentic things to do in Zadar region this August, this is the quirky, high-energy event you won’t want to miss.
Known locally as “praćanje,” this event celebrates the humble slingshot—a tool once essential for every island boy and shepherd. Held at the historic “Stara Gusterna” (the old water cistern) in the village of Neviđane, the competition invites participants of all ages and genders to test their aim. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a curious traveler, you can join the ranks and try your hand at hitting the targets.
But the competition is just the beginning. As the sun sets, the event transforms into a classic Dalmatian “fešta.” Expect stalls overflowing with local sweet and salty delicacies, homemade wine, and cold drinks. To top off the night, a major live concert—this year featuring the legendary pop group Magazin—will keep the island dancing until the early hours. It is the perfect way to truly Visit Dalmatia and experience the local heart of the archipelago.
