From April 30 to May 10, Split transforms into a living stage, where the city’s streets, squares, and hills come alive with music, culture, flavors, and joyful gatherings. This year’s festival carries a heartfelt message: “There is no city without its people” inspired by the legendary words of Meštar from Velo Misto (a character from a TV drama series), celebrating the city’s past, present, and unique spirit of community.

Visitors can wander through lively performances, theatrical shows, film screenings, and musical evenings, taste authentic Dalmatian dishes, explore vibrant markets, and join in family-friendly activities that delight both young and old. The festival reaches its peak with the Feast of Saint Domnius, traditional processions, and unforgettable city-wide celebrations that leave a lasting impression.

Sudamja is a chance to experience Split in its fullest, where every corner echoes with life, tradition, and the warmth of its people. Come and be part of the city’s heartbeat!
