From 23.-27. July, to hold the traditional, 65th summer carnival organized by the Tourist Board of the City of Pag and the City of Pag.

It all starts with a festive procession and ends with the burning of the carnival doll Marko at the town square and awarding the best mask. In the meantime, everyone is happy dancing Pag’s specific traditional dance with the accompaniment of the city's limestone music, the performances of numerous folklore groups, children choirs and evening concerts by famous performers. The highlight of this year's summer carnival is a great carnival parade.
