A flower festival held annually in late April since 2001 in Sveti Filip i Jakov, with floral displays, parades and a spring programme.
Sveti Filip i Jakov is located in the heart of the Dalmatian coast, just a few kilometers from Biograd na Moru. The town's history is deeply connected to the Benedictine monastery in Rogovo, ruins of which are still visible today. In the Middle Ages, it served as a strategic point, later becoming a preferred retreat for the nobility. A testament to this era is the Borelli family's summer residence and its magnificent park, one of the few surviving monuments of garden architecture in Dalmatia. The town takes pride in its hospitality and its reputation as the "Flower Riviera," hosting a well-known flower festival every year. The seaside promenade is handy for long walks, while beaches like "Iza Banja" hold the Blue Flag for excellent water quality. The view of the Pašman Channel and the numerous small islands provides an idyllic backdrop. For active travelers, the surroundings offer excellent conditions for sailing, windsurfing, and cycling. Local restaurants serve specialties like peka (meat or fish cooked under a bell) and seafood, accompanied by wines from the Ravni Kotari region. Sveti Filip i Jakov perfectly combines cultural heritage with modern summer tourism.
