Summer Events on Elaphite Islands

One summer, two villages, three islands, 50 events to choose from.

Looking to escape the crowds in Dubrovnik? You're in luck: the Elaphites (Elafiti), a small archipelago just northwest of the Pearl of the Adriatic, have taken care to prepare a long summer rich in music, dance and entertaintment of all sorts.

The islands of Koločep, Lopud and Šipan, as well as the villages of Zaton and Orašac, are becoming stages for open-air concerts, dance performances and folk festivities. Put them all together, and you get around 50 attractive events to check out if you want to spend an evening or two far from the packed streets of the most visited city on the Adriatic. There's something to see almost every day from the beginning of July all the way to September, so if you're visiting Dubrovnik or sailing around the area, make sure to do some island-hopping and enjoy the great performances under the stars. 

The summer programme is organised by Dubrovnik Tourist Board and the City of Dubrovnik. We'll make sure to update you on current events each week!
