The Story of
Croatia Fest Production

Since 2011, we have been shaping the cultural landscape of Croatia through international festivals that unite ensembles, performers, and audiences from across Europe and beyond. What began with the Zagreb Folk Fest soon grew into Adriatica Folk Fest and Istria Folk Fest, each carrying the spirit of tradition and community. In 2025, under our new identity – Croatia Fest Production – we continue this journey with four signature events: Croatia Folk Fest, Croatia Brass Fest, Croatia Dance Fest, and Croatia Choir Fest.


Our mission is to preserve and promote rich folk heritage while opening doors to diversity, creativity, and artistic exchange. Every festival is more than a performance – it is a meeting place where cultures connect, friendships are born, and music and dance create unforgettable memories. With professional organization and a welcoming atmosphere, we build cultural bridges that celebrate both tradition and modern expression.


Join us in Croatia, where festivals become living stories of joy, community, and creativity – a vibrant stage for ensembles and audiences alike.

Inside
Croatia Fest Production

Before the stage lights turn on and the first performance begins, there is a world of work happening behind the scenes. Every festival requires months of creative preparation, marketing campaigns, countless emails and phone calls, agreements, team coordination, and carefully planned social media content.


Behind all of this stands a dedicated team of professionals who follow every detail of festival organization with passion and precision. They make sure that each event runs smoothly, that performers feel welcome, and that audiences experience the joy of folklore, music, and dance at their very best.


Meet the people who bring Croatia Fest Production to life – the team that turns tradition into unforgettable festivals.

CEO & Producer

NIKOLA TUŠKAN

Dear friends of folklore, music, and dance! As the founder of Croatia Fest Production, I wanted to share my love for folklore and music with the world – and I’m grateful that my team and I have been doing this for fifteen years. I dedicate my time to making sure every detail turns our festivals into places of joy and togetherness, supported by a passionate team that brings warmth and energy to every event.

From my early days as a musician, folklore and heritage have been my calling. Today, I’m proud that through Croatia Fest Production we connect tradition with modern times and welcome ensembles from Croatia, Europe, and beyond.

Marketing & Communications Lead

GRACIAN ČOP

Hello everyone! My role at Croatia Fest Production is to bring our festivals to life and share them with the world. Besides marketing, I also share my passion for this work with the audience on stage as the host – so I get to connect with people directly while making sure our events shine online too. Through social media, creative campaigns, and live hosting, I spread the energy, traditions, and joy of our festivals so that everyone, near or far, can feel part of them.

Hi friends! At Croatia Fest Production I take care of administration and finances, making sure everything behind the scenes runs smoothly.

Working with our team, I help turn creative ideas into reality and ensure that the joy of folklore, music, and dance is supported by solid organization. For me, it’s about balance: numbers and structure on one side, and the magic of festivals on the other.
