After several days of transport-led alerts, today’s strongest traveler-useful update is different: Split’s official Easter program is now active, with a clear 29 March to 6 April timeline and fixed public events across Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
The core source is the official Split Tourist Board Easter in Split 2026 page. For wider timing context, the official City of Split event calendar and the county-level Dalmatia events board add practical nearby options for travelers staying longer in central Dalmatia.
Before-you-go check: outdoor Easter events can shift with weather, and some workshops have limited spots. Recheck the official Split Tourist Board page on the same morning, not only when planning days in advance.
What is officially scheduled in Split
Program item | Date and time | Location | Traveler note |
|---|---|---|---|
Lenten Concert (Na Cvitnu Nedilju) | 29 March 2026, 12:00-13:30 | Gaje Bulat Square | Useful if you are already in town before Holy Week peak. |
Easter Egg Painting workshops | 30 March to 3 April, 09:00-16:00 | In front of Split Tourist Board office | Walk-in style city-center stop, family-friendly. |
Sweet Easter Morning | 5 April (Easter Sunday), 11:00-14:00 | Strossmayer Square (Đardin) | Free Easter eggs and sirnica with open-air program. |

Nearby central Dalmatia Easter options (if you stay longer)
If your base is Split but you have a car or extra day capacity, county-level official listings currently highlight a few nearby Easter and Holy Week options:
Bast (Baška Voda area): Holy Week / Good Friday Way of the Cross on 3 April.
Sutivan (Brač): Easter Breakfast on 6 April.
Sinj: Open-Air Easter Monday Breakfast on 6 April.
These are listed via the official Split-Dalmatia County Tourist Board events page. For short-stay travelers, the practical point is not to over-stack all of them: pick one secondary event max beyond Split’s own Easter Sunday/Monday core program.
What this means for travelers right now
This is a high-clarity, low-hype update: not a disruption alert, not an unconfirmed teaser. The program has dates, locations, and practical format details already published by official tourism bodies.
For city-break travelers, the strongest window is straightforward:
Arrive Friday 3 April or Saturday 4 April for Holy Week atmosphere and easy city pacing.
Plan around Đardin on Sunday and Monday if you want the highest concentration of Easter programming.
Add one nearby county event only if logistics stay simple (especially if ferries/day transfers are involved).
Practical checks for the day of movement
If you are moving between islands and Split around Easter weekend, treat transport as a same-day verification task:
Check HAK live road status before any regional drive.
Check Jadrolinija timetable search if your plan depends on a ferry leg.
For catamaran alternatives, check TP Line official schedules and Krilo / Kapetan Luka directly.
If you are flying in/out, reconfirm timing on the official airport pages: Split Airport, Dubrovnik Airport, Zadar Airport.
