Dalmatian bard in the heart of Istria: The unmissable Tedi Spalato

The crown of the music program at Marina Poreč will undoubtedly be a special concert scheduled for August 20, when a true legend of the Croatian music scene – Tedi Spalato – arrives on the Sunset Vibes series stage. This singer-songwriter from Split, whose name is synonymous with Dalmatia, emotion, and superb musical interpretation, will provide the Poreč audience with a night to remember. His music, recognizable for its unique blend of Dalmatian chanson, subtle jazz elements, and world music undertones, fits perfectly into the intimate and sophisticated atmosphere of the marina.

Echoes of tradition: A memorable klapa evening on Freedom Square

Just one evening earlier, on Thursday, July 17, the "Poreč Summer" program brought a real musical treat celebrating the richness of Croatian cultural heritage. The central city's Freedom Square became the stage for an extraordinary performance by Klapa "Sveti Juraj" – of the Croatian Navy. In the very heart of the old town core, under the open starry sky, numerous assembled citizens and tourists had the opportunity to enjoy the powerful and harmonious voices of one of the most esteemed Croatian klapas. This free concert attracted a river of people, who absorbed every note in silence and with respect, witnessing the power and beauty of traditional klapa singing.

Klapa "Sveti Juraj" HRM, founded in early 2001 with the aim of promoting Croatian culture, is more than a musical group. They are cultural ambassadors of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Croatia, recognized and awarded both at home and abroad. Their repertoire includes original klapa songs, spiritual compositions, and patriotic songs, and each of their performances is imbued with deep emotion and impeccable technique. Last night's evening in Poreč was proof of their exceptional quality. The atmosphere in the square was almost magical – the combination of the historical ambiance, the warmth of the summer night, and the angelic voices created an experience to be remembered. Events like this show the soul of Poreč, a city that nurtures tradition and proudly shares it with its guests. Many of these guests choose to find accommodation in Poreč and its surroundings precisely because of such authentic experiences, to be at the center of cultural events.

Poreč: A mosaic of summer experiences

The "Poreč Summer" event is much more than individual concerts; it is a comprehensive cultural and entertainment program that turns the city into a living stage. From June to September, Poreč offers a diverse range of events for all tastes and ages. In addition to the aforementioned musical evenings, visitors can enjoy the Music on the Square program on Freedom Square, where local bands perform everything from jazz to rock, creating a relaxed atmosphere for dancing and socializing.
