This year again you can feel the holiday warmth in Poreč! All the way until January 7 enjoy various programs and events at Matija Gubec Square, in the magical Villa Polesini, City Library, and Poreč Open University. The ceremonial lighting of the lights at Matija Gubec Square will mark the start of Advent Poreč - Avvento Parenzo.
Feel the Christmas spirit by visiting the biggest nativity scene from Sveti Lovreč. Young ones will certainly love the Santa Claus House, where he'll be waiting for them with Mrs. Claus and their elfs. There's also free entertainment programmes and surprises for the whole family to enjoy, such as ice-skating rink, with all the basic equipment and ice-skating lessons included. Last but not least, there is a Christmas train taking you straight to the Poreč Advent site, so feel free to leave your car at the large town parking.
Expect lots of Croatian performers and bands during this Advent time, such as Gustafi, Vatra, Songkillers, Marijan Ban & Diktatori, Parni Valjak, Meritas, Jelena Radan and many others. Best part, all these concerts will be free!
What better way to remember all this but by visiting the Christmas fair, where you'll be able to buy some lovely Christmas souvenirs and enjoy all the Advent scents and flavours you could imagine.
