A solemn Holy Mass is held in the late afternoon, followed by a procession through the center of the town carrying the image of Our Lady of Ugljan.
The evening program is filled with performances by famous names of the Croatian music scene, Dalmatian dishes and desserts and great entertainment lasting long into the night.
