This famous festival starts usually on 10th of July and finishes on the 25th of August, so you can always join at any day and enjoy of the festival, no need to be there the whole time. The festival was inaugurated in 1950 to bring the best cultural events to the city streets, walls and façades of the Old Town. It is quiet famous for its classical music and opera and theater, specially with Shakespeare.
Dubrovnik Winter Festival
This beautiful and quiet new festival takes place between the 2nd of January until the 6th of January.

We can add that when the Advent-Christmas Winter Festival ends it comes the New’s Year Eve celebration, also quiet spectacular in the city centre streets. It is also interesting to know that on the 26th of January there is the Night of Museums in Dubrovnik, they are all for free and they stay open late with some special events.
