They also said that emergency services are still trying to contain the fire, "so we can't say just yet how this will affect today's beach performances".
They also thanked the festival attendees:
"We would like to say a big thank you to all Fresh Islanders who were at the festival for being so patient and supportive of each other and for cooperating with security and emergency services during the fire to stay safe."
The emergency services are still working to contain the remaining fire so we can’t say just yet how this will affect today’s beach performances. Rest assured we’re doing everything we can to go ahead as planned to continue the parties.

UPDATE: Due to the ongoing fire we have now been instructed by the police that they have had to shut the road to Novalja and unfortunately will not let buses pass through. Zrce Beach is now closed for safety precautions. pic.twitter.com/nHtEINconh
