Secovlje salt harvest
23 Apr – 15 Sep · usuallyThe salt pans south of town are still worked by hand from St George's Day through the summer, raked into white ridges on the same beds used for six hundred years. Out of season it is a birdwatching marsh instead. Source ↗

Day-tripper hours
15 May – 20 Sep · usuallyDay-tripper crushCrowdedCars stop at the Fornace car park and everyone arrives on the shuttle, so the old town fills between about ten and five and empties completely after. Stay the night and Tartini Square is yours. Source ↗

Swimming season
15 Jun – 25 Sep · usuallySea warm enoughThe northern Adriatic is shallow here, so it warms early and cools early; you swim off concrete platforms rather than sand. September water is still fine and the town is half as busy. Source ↗
- Festival
Tartini Festival
20 Aug – 5 SepMajor festivalA fortnight of chamber and baroque music for the violinist born on the square, played in the church and the Venetian halls rather than a concert venue. Late August into the first days of September. Source ↗
