Visit Novalja in May for the May Festival on May 2, 2024, an ecological and gourmet event where famous chefs produce regional specialities. To help residents brighten their gardens, festival organizers give them flower seeds and seedlings. Music and dance acts provide energy to the celebrations, making everyone happy.
Petar Grašo, a famous Croatian pop singer and composer, is prominently featured on the festival poster.

During the COVID-19 epidemic, his popular songs “Volim i postojim” (1997) and “Ko nam brani?” (1999) brought comfort to the population. Klapa Sol, a renowned folk ensemble, will also perform at the event.
