Dalmatian cultural and gastronomic heritage promotion

Overview

The Dalmatian region is actively promoting its cultural and gastronomic heritage through international platforms and traditional showcases.

Initial efforts included a presentation at the European Parliament in Brussels, where promotional films highlighted the region’s landscape and lifestyle. This event, attended by high-ranking officials, served as a precursor to Central Dalmatia being named the European Region of Gastronomy in 2027.

Subsequent developments focused on the preservation of local customs, including religious identities, traditional jewelry such as the ‘botun’ and ‘grotulje’, and folkloric performances. Cultural societies have also participated in international reviews, such as the ‘Miholjdanski susreti’ in Prene, to showcase regional songs, dances, and ‘ojkavica’ singing.
