When to Get There

The church is open to visitors daily. Old Town Dubrovnik can get very busy during the summer months, so visit early in the morning to avoid crowds. As well as being a popular resting spot for weary tourists, the church’s wide front staircase is the setting for many special events including a New Year’s Eve celebration as well as the opening festivities of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival and the annual St. Blaise Festival.

The Festival of St. Blaise

In a tradition dating back to the year 972, the Festival of St. Blaise kicks off on February 2 each year with the release of white doves, symbolizing peace, in front of the eponymous church. Then on February 3, the official feast day of Saint Blaise, the relics of the saint are carried through the streets of Dubrovnik and honored with food, music, and other festivities. The festival is included on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list.
