Make CroatiaFest a Full Seattle Weekend

Make CroatiaFest more than a single day — turn it into a full Seattle weekend. Spend Saturday exploring the best of Seattle Center: the Space Needle, MoPOP, Seattle Children’s Museum, Chihuly Garden and more. Or head to Lake Union to enjoy MOHAI and the Center for Wooden Boats. Then stay overnight and return refreshed for CroatiaFest on Sunday.

Honor the People Who Carry Croatian Culture Forward — Nominations Closing Soon

Do you know someone whose energy, talent, and dedication keep Croatian culture alive in our community? Someone who teaches folklore, preserves history, performs, organizes events, or brings people together in meaningful ways? If they inspire you, now is the moment to nominate them — time is running out.

Each year, the CroatiaFest Board recognizes two individuals whose work strengthens and celebrates our heritage:

  • Outstanding Croatian of the Year

  • Outstanding Young Croatian of the Year (under 30)

These awards honor the people who keep our traditions vibrant — through music, dance, cultural education, community leadership, historical preservation, and countless other contributions.


Thank You to our Supporters Who Make CroatiaFest Possible

The CroatiaFest Committee extends a heartfelt thank‑you to every donor whose generosity keeps our festival strong. Your support provides the essential funding that allows us to share Croatian music, dance, history, genealogy, art, and traditions with the entire Pacific Northwest — and with visitors from across the Croatian diaspora.

Your contributions make CroatiaFest possible. They help us present outstanding programming, preserve our heritage, and welcome thousands of people each year to experience the richness of Croatian culture.

As a special thank‑you, donors who give $100 or more will receive an invitation to our Donors’ Brunch on festival day — a small gesture of appreciation for the community members who lift us up.

We are inspired by your commitment and deeply grateful for your continued support. Thank you for being the reason CroatiaFest continues to shine.
