Salsa Latina Istriana Festival - Pula,Croatia 06. - 10. August 2026

PULA - CROATIA

WHAT WAS ALL THAT HYPE

About

21 years ago we launched a project - Free dance workshops "Salsa Latina Istriana" in order to promote salsa and other Caribbean dances. Through all of 20 years the event has been revived from the 100 dancers up to 1500 international dancers nowadays. Of course, the project would not be revived if there was no support from sponsors and many instructors who helped in the realization of the event with their enthusiasm and great love for dance. So get ready for 3 nights of 4 floor parties, one-floor pre-party + afterparty and 2 beach parties with our great Djs as well as a live concert and 3 masterclasses with top teachers. Indulge in the rhythms of Bachata, Bachata Sensual, Salsa, Kizomba & Semba in great energy, lots of smiles and hot Mediterranean summer in Croatia.

    to the place where all the magic happens

    VENUE

    Dance workshops as well as Friday to Sunday evening parties will be held at the same location on all days of the festival, inside the grandiose building of Dom Hrvatskih Branitelja (House of Croatian Defenders), which is located in the center of Pula. Originally designed during the Austro-Hungarian era, it features four large dancing halls with wood floors and an amazing bar where we have organized a special offer as part of our dance weekend.

    The Thursday pre-party will be open-air and held on the grand staircase of the lush Mediterranean garden in front of the main hall.

    During the day, you can attend Salsa, Bachata Sensual, and Kizomba masterclasses, or just enjoy the sun in our Lounge area.

    Over the night, the venue transforms into a four-floor party space with Salsa, Bachata, Bachata Sensual, and Kizomba floors.

    Worried about the heatwave? Don’t sweat it! We’ve added extra air conditioners to keep things cool at the festival. To help everyone stay comfortable, we kindly ask you to avoid standing directly in front of the cooler vents. This way, the air can circulate properly, keeping the whole space nice and cool.

    The Monday after-party will take place at the iconic Pietas Julia Club in Pula — don’t miss it! It’s set to be an unforgettable night.

    How to get there? Pula is easily accessible by plane, with direct flights from major European cities like London, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Oslo, Zurich, and more, served by airlines such as Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2, Croatia Airlines, and others.

    You can also reach Pula by car or bus from nearby cities like Trieste, Ljubljana, Venice, Zagreb, and Vienna. For a scenic option, ferries from Venice to Pula operate during the summer season.
