Every summer, Bol turns into an open-air stage filled with music, art, local traditions, theatre performances, exhibitions, gastronomy, dance, and cultural events. The Bol Summer Festival brings together locals and visitors through a wide variety of programmes held across different locations around the town, from the waterfront promenade and galleries to churches, wineries, markets, and open-air stages.
Some evenings are all about traditional Dalmatian klapa singing by the sea. Others focus on theatre plays, children’s programmes, art exhibitions, concerts, Mediterranean cuisine, or local celebrations that give Bol its unique summer atmosphere.
We will regularly update this list with new events and programme changes as they are officially announced.
