Crnilo Cup - Lukoran on Ugljan

Crnilo Cup - Lukoran on Ugljan is a unique celebration that combines the island’s squid fishing tradition with authentic gastronomy. Renting accommodation in Lukoran on Ugljan during the post-season is the perfect way to extend the summer. Crnilo Cup - Lukoran on Ugljan is not just a festival but an exciting competition dedicated to the island’s prized specialties – dishes made with cuttlefish and squid. Several hundred boats take part in the squid fishing competition, and all the catch ends up on the grill or in pots to feed the cheerful participants and visitors of this extraordinary event. Every year, at the end of September or the beginning of October, Lukoran transforms into a huge open-air kitchen, coming alive with Dalmatian music, local wine, and lively gatherings that last late into the night. Crnilo Cup is an opportunity to experience the authentic soul of Ugljan, taste the best “black” seafood delicacies, and take part in a maritime tradition passed down through generations.
