The Tourist Board of the City of Biograd na Moru proudly announces the third edition of the popular Biograd Family & Friends Festival (BFF), an event that will once again bring together enthusiasts of sports, recreation, and top-notch entertainment. This two-day spectacle, scheduled for the weekend of June 21st and 22nd, 2025, will take place in an idyllic beachfront location, right next to the renowned Ilirija pools in Biograd na Moru. Visitors can expect a meticulously designed and content-rich program, perfectly harmonized with the summer atmosphere, combining the benefits of the sea, sun, sports competitions, and unforgettable socializing.


This year's BFF Festival promises to raise the bar of excitement, bringing a fresh dose of adrenaline-fueled challenges and fun activities suitable for all age groups. Emphasis is placed on attractive sports competitions that will test the skills and endurance of participants, as well as on educational and entertainment workshops designed to enrich the experience for the whole family and groups of friends. Biograd na Moru thus becomes the epicenter of an active start to the summer.


A Sports Weekend Full of Excitement in Biograd na Moru


The festival will kick off on Saturday, June 21st, a day filled with dynamic sports activities and entertainment. Water sports enthusiasts will have the opportunity to try their hand at exciting SUP (Stand-Up Paddling) and kayak races in the beautiful waters of Biograd na Moru. A special children's sports show performed by the popular Klaun Spartanko Smotanko is prepared for the youngest visitors, guaranteeing laughter and active fun. In addition to the competitive part, a SUP workshop will also be held, where all interested parties can learn the basics of this increasingly popular water sport or improve their existing skills under expert guidance.


Saturday's program will be further enriched by traditional Dalmatian games, designed to introduce children and adults to the cultural heritage of the region in an interactive and fun way. Games such as tug-of-war, sack races, egg-and-spoon races, and stacking Dalmatian crates will surely bring smiles and encourage a competitive spirit. The evening hours are reserved for an innovative Silent Disco Fitness workshop, a unique blend of exercise and music where participants follow the rhythm through wireless headphones, creating an extraordinary atmosphere. The highlight of Saturday's gathering will be the BFF Challenge on inflatables, which will take place at the attractive Ilirija Pools, offering plenty of laughter and informal competition in fun water games, such as ducky races or basketball on inflatables.


Sunday Dedicated to Swimming and Aquathlon Challenges


The second day of the festival, Sunday, June 22nd, will be entirely dedicated to swimming disciplines and aquathlon, attracting athletes of various fitness levels. The program begins with swimming and aquathlon races designed for both children and adults. Aquathlon, a dynamic combination of swimming and running, will test the versatility of competitors. Shorter distances adapted to their age will be organized for children (swimming 100m + running 1km for beginners born in 2014 and younger, and swimming 500m + running 2km for cadets born in 2014 and older). Adults will be able to compete in several aquathlon categories, including the "Big Aquathlon" (1.5 km swimming + 4 km running) and the "Medium Aquathlon" (500 m swimming + 2 km running).


Special attention is drawn to the original and extremely popular race Women No Rules, where participants are allowed, and even encouraged, to use various swimming aids (such as fins, snorkels, inflatable mattresses, etc.), thereby emphasizing fun and creativity rather than solely the sporting result over a 500-meter course. Children's swimming races of 300 meters will also be part of Sunday's program, giving the youngest a chance to show off their swimming skills in a supportive environment. All programs and competitions will take place at carefully selected locations – on the beach next to the Ilirija pools, in the sea, and in the Ilirija Pool itself, ensuring ideal conditions for participants and spectators.
