Croatia pushes cultural festivals and safety campaign for a vibrant summer

Zagreb Classic, a free open‑air classical music series held on King Tomislav Square, showcases the city’s summer cultural scene. The festival combines high‑quality performances with easy public access, drawing locals and visitors alike and earning recognition from Forbes and European Best Destinations as a top European summer event.

The Croatian Civil Protection Directorate is running a "Responsible Summer" campaign to reduce risks from heat, fires and other hazards. It advises tourists and residents to stay hydrated, avoid peak‑sun exposure, follow fire bans and heed weather warnings. The agency also coordinates resources such as Canadair firefighting aircraft and prepares emergency shelters, food and medical aid for potential incidents.

Both initiatives aim to promote a safe, culturally rich summer experience in Croatia, encouraging visitors to explore the country beyond its coastal beaches.
