Get ready to immerse yourself in the authentic sounds of Dalmatia at the beloved folk manifestation Zapivajmo i zabalajmo (Let’s Sing and Dance). Held in the picturesque coastal town of Pakoštane, this event is a vibrant celebration of local heritage that brings the town’s squares to life with the rhythm of tradition. If you are looking for soulful things to do in Zadar region this July, this cultural gathering offers a front-row seat to the living history of the Adriatic.
Zapivajmo i zabalajmo transforms the center of Pakoštane into a grand open-air stage. The program features local folklore societies (KUDs) performing ancient “kola” (circle dances) in colorful, hand-embroidered costumes, followed by the powerful, a cappella harmonies of Klapa singing.
This event is more than just a performance; it is a community “fešta” where the boundary between performers and the audience often disappears as locals and tourists join in the dancing. It is a cornerstone of the Zadar region events calendar for anyone wanting to truly Visit Dalmatia and experience the warmth and hospitality of the Pakoštane people.
