This year enjoy taking part in even more events, free ice-skating, a number of concerts, entertainment and cultural programmes, and an endless Advent gastronomic offer…

The ceremonial lighting of the lights at Matija Gubec Square in Poreč on 11 December 2023 will mark the start of Advent Poreč – Avvento Parenzo.

Families will fall in love with skating on the free ice-skating rink with basic equipment included. The little ones will not be able to resist other free entertainment programmes and holiday surprises for children.

The novelty of this year’s event is the Santa Claus House which will make all children even happier and take them to the world of fantasy and joy while spending time with Father Christmas.

During the event at Matija Gubec Park, you will be able to enjoy excellent free concerts by famous Croatian performers.

For the full family Advent experience in the old town centre pedestrian zone, there is only one rule – leave your car at the large town parking lot and hop onto our Christmas train, which will take you straight to the Poreč Advent celebration.

During the Christmas Fair, the Advent scents and flavours will spread from the holiday stands embellished with ornate decorations.
