The island of Krk

Music, lights and holiday atmosphere
TOWN OF KRK
In December, the town of Krk once again becomes the stage for holiday magic. From December 6th to 31st, the town center, Veli Park and the semi-dome in the center of the town are transformed into a place of meeting, light and warmth, where tradition and modern spirit merge into an unforgettable Advent experience.

This year's fifth edition of Advent in Krk brings a rich musical program, charming Advent houses with a suitable gastronomic offer, children's performances and workshops, and a novelty - Krk Winter Trails, an outdoor segment that combines the holiday atmosphere and active spending time in nature.
