International Double-bass Festival
Should your explorations of Istria's villages take you to Draguć, your curiosity will surely keep you there. Draguć is the traditional site of double-bassists who meet every year at the June International Double-bass Festival to demonstrate their talent and virtuosity. During the event, the town square resounds with the sounds of double-basses played to the rhythm of the waltz and polka, ccompanied by accordions, trumpets, clarinets, violins, harmonicas and even haircombs. Performances last until twilight, when the event ends with a joint performance of all participants. Festivities with music and dancing continue deep into the warm summer night.
