The Croatian music festivals are a series of
music festivals which showcase the top
Croatian musical acts, in both traditional and contemporary music. They usually involve live performances as well as awards given by festival jurors as well as from the fans. The majority of the festivals release a compilation of the songs entered.
A popular festival which receives coverage on Croatian radio, as it organized by the Croatian Association of Radio and News. Listeners are encouraged to call in to vote for their favourite songs. Unlike other festivals, the Croatian Radio Festival has no permanent home and moves host cities each year.
The oldest Croatian music festival, Zagrebfest is oriented towards urban chansons and
schlagers. It has suffered in recent years as many of the top Croatian pop acts have been from Dalmatia.
Held in
Mostar,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, this festival primarily draws Croatian singers. It is organized by the city of Mostar and sponsored by
Aluminij, the largest Bosnian Croat firm.
Another festival based in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this one takes place in the coastal city of
Neum. Unlike in Mostar, Etnofest only features Croatian music and focusses on music with a folk sound.
Held annually in
Krapina since 1966, this festival features original songs inspired by the traditional folk music of
Hrvatsko Zagorje, and sung in the
Kajkavian dialect.
Festival is held in
Rijeka, in former paper factory halls. First festival was held in 2005. and there were two stages - one for rock/alternative and one for electro music. In 2007. it was divided in two days.
