opened in Dubrovnik, a winter, New Year's Eve kind of tourism, where locals,

midnight.
Every night has its power, yet the night of July 10th
has a magic power indeed, Dubrovnik proudly presents the opening of the
Dubrovnik Summer festival, go and see for yourself and let us know if
we are right?!
As early as 1950, Dubrovnik with its summer festival was heralded a world
phenomenon in new theater. Surrounded by the architectural beauty of Dubrovnik,
actors from around the world have found the inspiration to bring to life
renaissance sensibility, and reveal their closer contact with the audience.
The festival has brought a new and wonderful atmosphere to the town, and
has become one of Dubrovnik's essential attributes.
The Masquerades in the Old town begin after the St.Blaise festivity at
the beginning of February, culminate during three days preceding Ash Wednesday
and end by the closing carnival night. In recent years the Dubrovnik Masquerade
has become a traditional segment of winter tourism. Stradun is the meeting
place of young and old people from Dubrovnik and Pupa with their guests.
Dominos, clowns, Pierrots, courtesans, gypsy ladies, punks and hippies
- there are so many of them out there in the streets of February"
when the people just go crazy".
Feeling lucky? Don't miss a visit to Golden Sun Casino, the only casino in Dubrovnik at the moment, located in Hotel Rixos Libertas. All the big games are there, including Black Jack, Roulette, Caribbean Poker, Three Card Poker, and Texas Hold'em. Minimum bets range from 2 to 5 Euro depending on the time of day.
Otherwise you might try your luck in one of the poker rooms and online casino, all you need is a WiFi conection offered by many cafe bars, restaurants, hotels and clubs in Dubrovnik. You can also benefit from the tournaments offered on the European Poker Tour. What's nice about the EPT is that while Europeans are encouraged to play, you don't have to be European to do so and you can even check out some top uk casinos online. In Season Five, PokerStars sent over 3,000 players to EPT tournaments throughout Europe, meaning there was plenty of poker action all over Europe even when the major tournaments weren't running. Thanks to the EPT, poker is going strong all across the European continent.
Another special reason to be in Dubrovnik on festive
occasion is to watch the City Brass band which has an impressive history
and has been active for over one hundred and sixty years. The festive
days in the city are made even more so by the sounds of trumpets, trombones,
bombardina, clarinets, tambourines, and the attraction of uniforms - the
official dress of band players in the uniform of the colors of Dubrovnik
- red and blue. Dubrovnik can also invite you to participate in the ordinary
night life entertainment, when people gather in the Old Town, at Stradun,
sipping on a drink, talking a walk or observing the old harbor in nightlight.
The Old Town has become the meeting point for everyone who likes to watch
and being watched, pubs, cafes, bars are all a significant part of the
swirling night life in Dubrovnik.
The fascination of being a part of the Old Town at night
is entertainment itself.
