Rabska fjera

25.07.2024. - 27.07.2024. / Rab

Rabska Fjera is the oldest and largest medieval summer festival in Croatia. It is based on a tradition that began on 21 July 1364, when Rab Town Council decided to pay tribute to King Louis the Great, who freed Rab from Venetian rule. In the past, the Fjera used to last 14 days, when the inhabitants of the island would adore the relics of St Christopher, who is credited with saving the town from destruction. Today the Fjera is celebrated in his honour.

Rabska Fjera takes place every year from July 25th to July 27th (the feast days of St James, St Anne and St Christopher). During the festival, the entire town goes back in time.
