66. Split Festival - Split Popular Music Festival
Location: Prokurative - Republic Square
Date: September 4th- September 6th, 2026
The Split Festival is one of the most famous music festivals in this area and one of the significant symbols of the city under Marjan, which has left a serious mark in Croatian music industry and culture throughout its history. Over the years, various domestic and foreign names, organizers, and locations have alternated, but good songs have always found their way to their listeners. Passionate Dalmatia has repeatedly shown its inexhaustible source of creativity, and the Mediterranean is precisely the creative inspiration for various artists. The first Split Festival was held back in 1960, when fashion and music merged at the POŠK pools. Throughout its long festival history, over 940 compositions by the most significant domestic authors have been performed at the Split Festival, interpreted by the most famous names of the domestic music scene. Similarly, in 1967, the Festival moved to Prokurative, where it is still held today.
