Sea Star Festival (Serbo-Croatian: Si Star festival / Си Стар фестивал) is a music festival organized by the team behind EXIT Festival in Serbia. It was held for the first time on 26–27 May 2017 at the Stella Maris Resort in the City of Umag, while the second edition was held in 2018 on 25–26 May. The festival features rock, pop, electronic, techno, house, hip-hop, metal and punk acts performing on multiple stages. Some notable names who performed include Fatboy Slim, Paul Kalkbrenner, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Hurts, Paul Van Dyk, Sven Väth, Wu-Tang Clan, Dubioza kolektiv, Amelie Lens, UMEK, Meduza, Onyx, The Prodigy, Robin Schulz and many more.

In its first festival year in 2017, Sea Star was shortlisted in two categories at the annual European Festivals Awards which are held in Groningen, Netherlands, competing for the title of best mid-sized and best new festival. At national level, in 2017 Sea Star won the Capra D’Oro award given by Istria Tourist Board for promoting the region of Istra, while winning the "Ambasador" award in the same year for best new festival.

Sea Star also caught the attention of international media, with Travel Magazine concluding that with "outstanding productions the festival is set to be a stunner".
