Sea Star Festival is a shining gem of Europe’s festival scene, offering a unique blend of beachside bliss and world-class music. Set in the picturesque coastal town of Umag, Croatia, this festival has quickly grown from a local offshoot into a must-visit event for music lovers.

Origins and Evolution of Sea Star Festival

Sea Star Festival was born out of a collaboration with the team behind Serbia’s famed 

. From the very beginning, it carried a strong festival pedigree, which helped it make a splash on the European scene. What started as a newcomer event in the late 2010s rapidly earned industry recognition – even securing nominations for Best New Festival and Best Medium-Sized Festival in Europe shortly after its debut. Early accolades also came from Croatia’s own tourism boards for putting Umag and the Istria region on the global festival map. Each year since its launch, Sea Star has evolved and expanded, attracting bigger crowds and even bigger acts, all while maintaining the intimate charm of a coastal celebration.

 by a turquoise lagoon, the festival’s location is a huge part of its appeal. Umag’s natural beauty – from sunny beaches and warm Adriatic waters to its charming old town – provides a stunning backdrop for the party. By day, festival-goers can lounge by the sea or explore local cafes; by night, the resort transforms into a sprawling dance floor under the stars. The vibe is electric yet relaxed: imagine warm breezes, glowing palm trees, and music echoing across the water. It’s the kind of place where new friendships form easily and the energy carries on until dawn, truly capturing that summer-opener feeling that Sea Star is famous for.

Music for Every Taste and Epic Headliners

One of Sea Star’s biggest strengths is its genre-spanning lineup. The festival brings together an eclectic mix of rock, pop, hip-hop, and plenty of electronic dance music. Whether you’re into techno sounds, live rock bands, or chart-topping EDM anthems, you’ll find something to love on one of the festival’s multiple stages. Over the years, Sea Star has hosted an impressive roster of performers, reflecting its rising status on the circuit. Some notable headliners who have ignited the stages include legendary electronic acts like The Prodigy and 

, hip-hop icons like the Wu-Tang Clan, and regional favorites like Dubioza Kolektiv. And that’s just scratching the surface – each edition’s lineup is packed with both global names and local talent, creating an exciting mix of sounds. The music runs well into the night, often capped off with spectacular light shows, fireworks, and an atmosphere that’s pure euphoria.

While Sea Star Festival is rooted in Croatia’s coastal charm, its appeal extends far beyond. Locals in Umag and throughout Croatia take pride in this festival, which showcases their beautiful region and hospitality. At the same time, Sea Star draws a truly international crowd – it’s common to meet festival-goers from all over Europe and beyond who have traveled to experience this Adriatic extravaganza. Umag’s convenient location (close to Italy and Slovenia and not far from other central European countries) makes it an easy trip for international visitors, turning the event into a melting pot of cultures on the dance floor. The result is a friendly, cosmopolitan crowd united by a love of music and summer fun.

Sea Star Festival offers a little bit of everything that makes the European festival scene special – a rich history backed by a famous festival brand, continuous growth and excitement, a breathtaking seaside venue, a mix of music genres for all tastes, and an inclusive vibe that brings people together. It’s the kind of festival where you can spend the day swimming and exploring, then dance all night with thousands of new friends.
