The 1st Desserts and Ice Cream Festival “Sweet Lošinj” will take place from 19 to 21 June 2026 in Mali Lošinj. This new and delightful event has been designed as a place for gathering, exchanging ideas, and enjoying top-quality desserts and ice cream.
The festival is being held simultaneously with Kvarner EXPO 2026, organized by the Chamber of Trades and Crafts of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County and the Association of Craftsmen Cres–Lošinj, with the support of the Town of Mali Lošinj and the Tourist Board of the Town of Mali Lošinj.
The festival is conceived as a three-day island gastronomic and tourism event which, through desserts and ice cream – an essential symbol of summer – enriches the destination’s pre-season offer, encourages visitors to explore the island’s hospitality and culinary scene, and further positions Mali Lošinj as a destination of experiences, flavors, and a sustainable Mediterranean lifestyle.
The event is organized within the framework of the Kvarner – European Region of Gastronomy project, further emphasizing its regional importance, quality, and alignment with Kvarner’s gastronomic strategy.
In addition to the fair exhibition segment, the festival includes:
• workshops and educational programs for participants
• workshops and educational programs for children and families
• presentations and show cooking demonstrations
• a parade of Lošinj ice cream makers on 21 June
• evening entertainment program
