 A traditional Pag’s carnival is held twice a year - in winter and summer, with the winter version already in existence for more than 80 years and the summer is held for more than six decades, since 1959, which makes the summer carnival on Pag the oldest such carnival at Adriatic.

While the winter carnival is mostly intended for the local population, the summer is also visited by many foreign visitors visiting island of Pag. From 22. and 27. July, the traditional, 67th summer carnival organized by the Tourist Board of the City of Pag and the City of Pag will be held.

It all starts with a festive procession and ends with the burning of the carnival doll Marko at the town square and awarding the best mask. In the meantime, everyone is happy dancing Pag’s specific traditional dance with the accompaniment of the city's limestone music, the performances of numerous folklore groups, children choirs and evening concerts by famous performers. The highlight of this year's summer carnival is a great carnival parade.

Pag Carnival is one of the central events that promotes Pag as a destination and a city with long tradition, rich cultural heritage and old customs.
