The Kaštela Historical Festival, organized by the Vakat association, will take place from September 19th to 21st, a three-day program that will take place in Kaštel Kambelovac on Brčko, but also in Dudan's Park. The idea of the entire concept is to bring the former way of life closer to the wider population.
- Using the method of revived history, we want to present the emergence of the city of Kaštela during the difficult times of Ottoman invasions in our area, and through appropriate programs and events, take visitors through the rich and turbulent past of our ancestors, and at the same time revive life at that time in Kaštela, but also in the wider area.
We invite you to join us and feel the breath of times gone by with historical
units and associations that, with their hard work, do not allow oblivion to prevail - says the Vakat association.
