The Festival de l'Istroveneto is an international cultural festival held each June in Buje, Croatia, dedicated to preserving and promoting Istroveneto, the Venetian-language dialect traditionally spoken along the Istrian coast across Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy. Organised by the Unione Italiana with support from the City of Buje and the Istria and Veneto regions, it spans music, theatre, literature, and cuisine, featuring the dialect song contest "Dìmela Cantando," a theatre review, and literary and video competitions for schoolchildren. Over 15 editions, it has grown into a leading celebration of Istria's intangible heritage, drawing over a thousand artists and participants of all ages.
