The great musician Oliver Dragojević, born in Vela Luka, passed away on July 29, 2018. In his honor, Vela Luka holds an annual concert, Trag u beskraju, one of the biggest events in Croatia.
During this manifestation, Vela Luka is bustling with music and becomes a stage for the best Croatian performers.
Lumblija is a traditional aromatic sweet bread prepared in Vela Luka and the western part of Korčula island on the eve of All Saints' Day when we remember our loved ones who have passed away.
It is a symbol of our local history and gastronomy. To preserve the tradition, the people of Vela Luka organized an event called "Stajun od lumblije", in which amateur bakers prepare lumblijas and compete for the "Golden lumblija" award.
Every year, in mid-September, Vela Luka hosts Vela Luka Outdoors, a sporting event for runners, cyclists and other adventurers and nature lovers.
If you are eager for an adventure, love beautiful green landscapes, and want to spend a weekend in nature racing along the way and having a lot of fun, book a room and join the Vela Luka Outdoors festival.
