Gastronomy and Entertainment

Just like in other parts of Dalmatia and along the coast, the life in small towns is characterized by two periods, the summer and the winter period. The winter season is characterized by a calm and relaxed rhythm, and its highlight is in January, the time of a carnival or "maškare". With respect to the old Christian customs there is a long tradition of carnival in Vela Luka, so every Sunday from the beginning of January up until the end of February there are organized costume parties, contests for the best costumes and prizes for the best three. This period of festivities ends with a big parade when all contestants go in a procession through the town centre.

The summer period starts on June 24, on St. John’s day, and is celebrated by a traditional boat race from Gradina cove to the town centre. During the summer months, the rich entertaining programme enables all visitors of Vela Luka to enjoy the weekly performances of the folk group «Kumpanija», vocal singing, exhibits of local and other artists, fishermen evenings, and various concerts of pop and classical music.

In addition to that, there is also a disco and numerous bars where you can enjoy the occasional concerts of popular singers and bands, domestic and foreign.

Rich gastronomic offer of Vela Luka is based on numerous quality restaurants and inns offering local specialties and other dishes. Most of them are in the town centre, and in the wider area of Vela Luka there are several households offering authentic Dalmatian ambiance, traditional cuisine of Vela Luka, domestic wine and more.
