There are events you simply don’t miss—those that carry the scent of the sea, spring, and togetherness. The May Day celebration in Baška Voda, now in its 46th year, brings generations together in a celebration of work, life, and tradition passed on with a smile.
Over three days, you can expect a blend of old customs and the cheerful Dalmatian spirit—from the morning reveille that awakens the town, through lively competitions and laughter along the waterfront, to evenings filled with music that connects us all.
THURSDAY, April 30
An evening of emotional melodies with the concert Tribute to Oliver.
FRIDAY, May 1
May Day brings that authentic, recognizable atmosphere: the morning reveille, parade, flower distribution, and the playful spirit of traditional games—from International Charter Donkey Race, Waiters' race, and the “Alka Tournament,” to tug-of-war and Tallow Beam Walking. Laughter, cheering, and positive energy will fill every corner of the town. The celebration continues in Baška Voda’s restaurants with local dishes and entertainment, followed in the evening by a Tribute to Bijelo Dugme concert.
SATURDAY, May 2
A day for the youngest—and those who feel that way—featuring a children’s program and plenty of fun, while the evening is reserved for music, dancing, and an open-air concert by Tedi Spalato and Klapa Berulia.
This is not just an event—it’s a story about people, traditions, and the moments we share. Come, be part of the tradition, and create memories that will last.
