There is no shortage of cultural content here in the summer, partly thanks to celebrities who are loyal friends of Zlarin, and partly to our locals always open to new ideas and projects which they try to put into action.<\/p>\n
For that reason we use the motto \u201csomething for everyone,\u201c as witnessed by our guests. <\/p>\n
In the hot summer months you can enjoy various exhibitions, classical music concerts in churches or rock concerts in local cafes on the shore, film festivals or screenings of Zlarin documentaries, theatre plays for both kids and adults, bocce competitions, football, table tennis or swimming, \u201cLatinski idrunon na kureja\u201c regatta and various other festivities. <\/p>\n
Your experience of the place will forever stay with you if you witness \u201cFarewell to coral hunters\u201c which vividly depicts our ancestors\u2019 customs, as well as additional events such as the screening of the \u201cCoral Princess\u201c movie, washing the clothes in \u201cVrulja\u201c, making coral jewelry, all accompanied by the songs and dancing of our Koralj folk ensemble and friends. It is a form of a show, a play performed by our Zlarinians \u2013 in traditional folk costumes \u2013 to remind both themselves and the guest of a six-century long coral tradition of their ancestors. The legacy forever validates Zlarin as a coral island, and corals, along with olives and fish, have boosted island life and economy. Hence, Zlarinians protectively preserve and cherish the tradition of coral hunting and harvesting together with this unique event. <\/p>\n
