Vodice will shine in a festive spirit this winter too, offering good entertainment and top-tier gastronomy. The Vodice City Tourism Board and the City of Vodice are organising Advent in Vodice, an event taking place from 11 December 2026 to 2 January 2027.

The event attracts numerous residents and visitors year after year. The programme is held in the setting of the city park on Knez Branimir Square, featuring thousands of lights, seasonal decorations and the scents of homemade delicacies. Over the course of nearly a month, the Vodice garden will become a favourite spot for socialising with a true festive atmosphere, while Vodice will offer a rich programme for all generations.

The musical programme features a series of attractive concert line-ups. The Advent stage will host Urban & 4, Silente, Alen Nižetić, Rišpet and BluVinil, along with local musical acts and other performers.

Visitors can look forward to Advent huts offering a diverse range of food and drink. Gastro events and gastro feasts are also planned to celebrate local flavours and traditions, with the beloved Cod Feast on Christmas Eve holding a special place in the programme. Park quizzes are also included.

Christmas storytelling sessions by the Vodice City Library, creative workshops and various children's programmes will add extra magic to the Advent days. Alongside the traditional morning children's welcome, the highlight of the programme will be the New Year's Eve celebration, when Vodice will step into the new year 2027 with the group Fenix.

A detailed programme will be published soon.
