The Details
Ultra Europe is an outdoor electronic music festival based in multiple cities throughout Croatia. It is the European expansion of the American Ultra Music Festival, debuting from 12–14 July 2013, largely in Split and the island of Hvar. Two years later, the festival became a part of Destination Ultra in Dalmatia, which includes a multi-day festival and yacht regatta.
The music festival is part of the broader tourism sector of Croatia and is considered "strategically important" by the Ministry of Tourism. Croatian-Canadian entrepreneur Joe Bašić has organized the festival since its founding. Ultra Europe has had a "statistically significant effect" on the local Dalmatian economy since the 2010s.
