Assomption

Sinjska Alka, the knightly tournament in Sinj, always falls around this date : a 300-year-old competition where riders gallop at full speed and try to thread a lance through a small iron ring. The whole town of Sinj turns into an amphitheater. Also: the pilgrimage to Marija Bistrica, the national shrine.
