Eco-Ethno Fest, a festival dedicated to the mih bagpipe, a traditional wind instrument, has been held since 2014. There are only a few active mih players on the island of Rab and one in Lopar, which makes this event extremely important in terms of preserving the local identity and popularising a skill that is nowadays slowly disappearing. In addition to musicians, the programme also includes performances of folklore dance and singing ensembles, folk singers who nurture specific local tunes, and other performers from Croatia and abroad who present the rich folklore heritage of the regions they come from.
