Many Croaitan celebrities attended the show, including actor Rene Bitorajac with his wife, Connect lads, TV and radio host Ivan Vukusic, footballer Silvio Maric, models Iva Dragovic, Martina Cular and Jelena Danona, Mister Croatia Bruno Oreskovic and many more.

Papaya club organisers have managed to make a step forward in relation to last year. They thought that the previous season was their pinnacle, but a rise in attendance has been recorded and the festival has been sold-out in advance. Despite he credit crunch, accommodation in Novalja is fully booked and the guests from all corners of the world arrived for their dosage of fun at the most desired location for youth. The carefully planned season has yielded good results.
