Advent in Kvarner 2026

From late November to Epiphany, Kvarner towns light up, open their huts and set up stages. Here are all confirmed Advent programmes and concerts in one place.

Which Advent to choose

Opatija and Crikvenica run the longest, until January 6, and Crikvenica also has the “Ledena morska bajka” ice rink and Santa's House on Trg Stjepana Radića. Mali Lošinj has the richest music programme on its main square, from the Dellboys and Silente to New Year's Eve with SuperCover Band. Cres ends the year with a noon party, while smaller places like Čavle and Fužine keep Advent relaxed and local.

Rijeka Advent 2026 has not been officially announced yet; we will add it here as soon as the city and tourist board publish the programme.

Advent programmes and concerts

Practical notes

  • Concerts on Advent squares are usually free, but we only mark free entry when the organiser explicitly confirms it.
  • For New Year's Eve, see our guide New Year's Eve 2027 in Rijeka and Kvarner.
  • Programmes are often extended during November; this page refreshes automatically as we add confirmed dates.

We write the guides ourselves; their event lists are generated from the verified rijeka.party registry.
