The traditional cultural manifestation, Zadar Summer Theatre festival is an event that goes back to 1995. The program takes place at site-specific, open locations all over the city of Zadar and is generally focused on comedy as a focal genre. During the past twenty nine years of its existence, the festival provided a total of 22 productions on its own and over 200 visiting plays and performances from both Croatia and abroad.
Since 2015, this manifestation has been enriched with the music program as well – a three day Zadar Jazz & Blues Festival that during seven years of its existence brought to scene many renowned world musicians such as Brian Auger, Trilok Gurtu and Fred Wesley and Eric Bibba.
