Sea battle
During the days of the Vrana Knights you have the opportunity to attend a real medieval battle at sea. In a quiet evening, the Turkish fleet of boats and sailboats slowly enters the port of Pakoštane with the intent to take it. But soon locals react and defend the place. Flaming arrows flying everywhere, you can hear shouts and noise from ships, cannons wait readily, catapults trying to repel the Turks further … history reconstructed in a stormy night ending with celebration, of course of the locals, and fireworks while the Turkish fleet in the distance flees to the south.
Dragarske Bumbete
Etno udruga “Dan” iz Pakoštana organizirala je u suradnji sa žiteljima Draga etno – gastro manifestaciju “Dragarske Bumbete”. Događaj okuplja proizvođače domaćih gastro i ostalih proizvoda iz Draga da ih prezentiraju i prodaju na manifestaciji. Dragri će na manifestaciji nuditi domaću spizu i proizvode po popularnim cijenama a sve da se dragarskim gostima prezentira povijest i baština Draga te da ih se zabavi i ugosti kako to samo Dragarima priliči. Naziv “Dragarske Bumbete” aludira na dugu i bogatu povijest Dragara u ribarstvu, a naročito lovom “na bumbete” ili “na sviću” kako se danas češće kaže. Pozivamo sve dragarske turiste, prijatelje i Dragare da dođu i svojim prisustvom uveličaju prve Bumbete i da se dobro zabave, probaju odličnu domaću spizu i dobru domaću kapljicu.

Summer carnival
Carnivals have always been events through which ordinary folk have channelled their fun, frustrations and of course, all that is wild within us. This masked Pakoštane madness represents an act of true folk and tourist fun, and unlike those in many other localities throughout Croatia, this masked madness is held in the middle of summer, in the middle of the month of July. In colourful costumes, shorts or bikinis, a mix of locals and tourists mingle under the hot sun with wine, music and homemade treats, and for years have been the source of the unforgettable excitement of real summer madness.

Come and have a taste, the story has no end.
Knightly Days in Vrana
During the “KNIGHTLY DAYS IN VRANA ,” a historical spectacle that takes place the last weekend in August, there are re-enactments of scenes from times long past. Before you there will be a medieval camp, knight tournaments, old crafts, plays, knights-horsemen from all over Croatia and abroad, falcon trainers, commoners, jugglers and the poor… picturesque folk costumes, uniforms, war devices, and add to this a rich a culinary offer based on medieval recipes. You will be awed by everything you see, but when you are offered fruits of the land from the Vrana fields you will not know where the true throne of pleasure resides: in your eyes or on your taste buds.
Školjka Klapa festival
Like Venus who floated on a shell, but also like the shell itself, ships and sailors hide the secret of their beauty in the spiral depths from which a breath of the universe flows.
This breath of acoustic miracle which flows form within shells also awaits you at this unique festival where the stage has been constructed in the shape of a shell. Instead of Venus, on the shell-shaped stage for four consecutive years now, the best quality klapa (acapello groups) in all their musical beauty from the Zadar and Šibenik-Knin Counties have been performing, together with the best klapa singers from all of Croatia.
The specific qualities of this festival lay in the fact that it represents the beginning of a type of educational centre for klapa singing. Heading down this path is the winter klapa school of singing, the only one in Croatia which is turning into a traditional gathering of klapa and their leaders.
