INmusic Festival, the biggest open-air music festival in Croatia, has grown since its founding in 2006 into one of the most important cultural events in the region. Its continuous organization over two decades places it among the longest-running contemporary music festivals in Croatia, and its reputation has long surpassed national borders.

 

Over the years, the stages of INmusic have hosted some of the biggest names of the global music scene. Audiences have had the opportunity to see artists such as Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, The Cure, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Florence + The Machine, Arcade Fire, and many others, establishing the festival as an essential stop on the European festival map. In total, it has featured more than 500 performers from 35 countries and delivered hundreds of concerts of international significance.

 

Beyond its music program, INmusic has a strong tourism and cultural impact. Each year, the festival attracts tens of thousands of visitors and significantly contributes to Zagreb’s recognition as an urban and festival destination. As much as 45% of the audience consists of international visitors.

 

The international crowd comes from numerous countries, with the most represented visitors arriving from the United Kingdom, Slovenia, Italy, and Hungary, while attendees have also been recorded from across Europe, Australia, and the United States. This diversity highlights the festival’s important role as a meeting point of different cultures, as well as a strong promoter of Croatian tourism.

 

The festival also contributes to the local economy through accommodation, hospitality, and related services, while its campsite and multi-day program further extend visitors’ stays in Zagreb.

 

INmusic has been repeatedly ranked among the world’s best festivals by respected media outlets such as CNN and the British NME, which described it as a “hidden gem of Europe.” Such recognition confirms its quality and long-term relevance on the global music scene.

 

Tickets are available via the official festival webshop.

The Neretva Boatmen's Association is the organizer of the Lađa Boat Marathon, which is traditionally rowed on the route Metković-Opuzen-Ploče on a 22,500 m long course.

 

In terms of viewership, the Lađa Boat Marathon is one of the biggest events in Croatia, and at the same time a tourist spectacle and attraction that is broadcast every year by the Croatian Radio Television. It is also attended live by over fifty thousand spectators along the entire route, some along the banks of the Neretva, some in tourist and private boats.

 

Certainly the most impressive and attractive moment is the start in Metković, when around 400 rowers in 33 identical, tightly packed boats head towards the finish line in Ploče, along to the sound of drums. Even though the finish line is far away and the route is tiring, all teams row at the start as if the finish line were 100 meters away and ride the entire route in the same rhythm.

 

The Lađa Boat Marathon is now known outside the Neretva region and has become an important event that attracts attention beyond the borders of Croatia, representing a combination of tradition, sport and tourism that wins the hearts of everyone who experiences it.
