O događanju
The idea of creating a festival in the area of Ston was inspired by the story of salt and the Republic of Dubrovnik, which based its progress, among other things, on the production and trade of this important article in human nutrition.
The Ston Saltworks, unchanged since the 14th century, was a strategic economic point of the Republic of Dubrovnik, while today it is an important economic entity and a unique cultural monument and tourist attraction. The harvesting of salt, which takes place in Ston Saltworks in a historical way every year, is also a special tourist attraction and captures the attention of visitors.
The Salt Festival in Ston is a multimedia event with a rich program: from gastronomic and oenological events, to presentations of traditional crafts and products, workshops for the youngest on the subject of salt, and concerts of folklore and popular music. The Salt Festival affirms the existing capacities and comparative advantages of this area and traditional products, without endangering the environment and drawing attention to the wealth of heritage, both economic and cultural, emphasizing the partnership between local government stakeholders, tourism stakeholders, small producers and local residents, and visitors.
