Sea Dance Festival is a summer music festival, held in Malinska, a settlement on the island of Krk in Croatia. It has been held at Jaz Beach in Budva since 2014 until 2017, as an extension of EXIT Festival, and then at Buljarica Beach in Montenegro until 2022. In May 2023, the organizers announced the festival's displacement from Montenegro, because of the blockades and lack of financial support from the local government, with several potential future locations announced. Croatia was revealed as the location in June 2023.
