"In this tiny Dalmatian coastal village, locals race donkeys through narrow cobblestone streets in a knockabout tradition that began in 1952 as a tribute to the working animals of island life, accompanied by food stalls and live music."
Magareće trke u Tribunju
"Barban's centuries-old ring-tilting race, first recorded in 1696 and revived in 1976, sees sixteen horsemen in Istrian folk costume galloping a 150-metre track to spear a hanging iron ring in just twelve seconds."
Trka na prstenac
"Teams of up to 18 rowers from Neretva river villages race 22 kilometres of the delta in refurbished traditional wooden lađe to Ploce, a centuries-old river custom that draws crowds waving flags along both banks in a celebration of the flat-bottomed boat culture unique to this part of Dalmatia."
Maraton lađa
"Lošinj's deep maritime heritage is celebrated each September with traditional sailing regattas, boat exhibitions, and sea-themed cultural events anchored in the island's long history as a centre of Adriatic seafaring."
