First Petrovac Squid Festival

The first Petrovac Squid Festival invites you to enjoy a day centered around squid fishing, local flavors, and live music. You can watch or join the fishing competition near Katič and Sveta Nedjelja islands, where the focus is on skill and a bit of friendly rivalry. Afterward, the event shifts to a more relaxed pace with performances by local bands and opportunities to taste traditional squid dishes. It’s a chance to experience a unique part of Petrovac’s culture while the season still feels warm. Beyond the competition and food, the festival offers a glimpse into the town’s laid-back coastal lifestyle. Whether you come with friends or meet others who share your interest in fishing or local cuisine, you’ll find moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of the sea and music. The timing in late September means the crowds are smaller, making it easier to soak in the surroundings and the community spirit without feeling rushed.
