Every year in late July the town hosts a festival at which a ‘King of Iz’ is elected. The festival reputedly dates back several hundred years. The harbour of Veli Iz is given over almost entirely to yachting tourism, with its partial conversion into a small 50-berth marina with a wide range of support facilities, including a small repair yard.
