The story behind it
Despite Pag’s image as a party island (zeb events), PagArt positions itself as a promoter of classical heritage. It connects the island’s medieval architecture with serious music, referencing Pag’s rich history. Locals see it as elevating everyday life, and it engages Pag’s music teachers and students as well as regional artists. The festival has carved an identity for Pag beyond tourism – as a cultural locale in Dalmatia.
