For many years, the Trogir Summer Festival has promoted the development of culture and art in the city with its rich program and content. Thanks to the long tradition of authentic cultural creativity, this event has become one of the most prominent in Dalmatia, spreading the wealth of Trogir’s tangible and intangible cultural heritage worldwide through tourism. The City of Trogir and the Trogir Tourist Board continuously work on improving the quality and diversity of the program, making Trogir a globally recognized destination for cultural tourism.
The program begins on the main square on July 5, 2024, with the ceremonial concert “Klapa Trogir and Ivica Sikirić Ićo – Vrime gre, a pisma traje,” celebrating six decades of continuous preservation and nurturing of authentic Dalmatian klapa songs and a cappella singing. On the main square, Ivica Sikirić Ićo and Klapa Trogir – the first formally organized klapa in Dalmatia – will revive the values and beauty of klapa singing, an invaluable jewel of Trogir’s intangible cultural heritage.

New festivals enriching the Trogir Summer Festival program are the Trogir Organ Festival, the TRAG Festival, and the Guitar Masters Festival.
The Trogir Organ Festival combines a series of activities related to organ art and the world of organs in Trogir, which is a global phenomenon due to the number of sacred objects in such a small area of the historic city center.

The Masters of Guitar Festival brings renowned musical names to Trogir. The first among them is Petrit Çeku, one of the leading guitarists of his generation, who regularly performs on the world’s most important stages, and will open the festival at the Duke’s Palace on September 2. Shortly after, on September 6, one of the most promising young guitarists in the world, winner of over 40 first prizes in competitions around the globe – Filip Mišković, will showcase his talent.
Additionally, the Trogir Town Museum has organized several exhibitions throughout the summer, with a highlight being the “Salvador Dali: Hidden Faces” exhibition, presenting 162 of the artist’s works from the private Kesauri collection from France to the Croatian public for the first time.
