Experience an unforgettable Advent on Lošinj!
The most magical Christmas story returns to the Island of Vitality this year, bringing locals and visitors a wonderful festive atmosphere filled with exciting events, entertainment and surprises.
Alongside the charming Christmas market stalls set up in the main square of Mali Lošinj, the Town of Mali Lošinj and the Mali Lošinj Tourist Board, in cooperation with numerous partners, have prepared a diverse programme of daily cultural and entertainment events for all generations.
Christmas tree decorating – including underwater Christmas trees – children's activities, musical performances, drama, poetry recitals, dance shows, entertainment programmes, charity events, football tournaments and theatre performances are just some of the highlights of this year's Advent on Lošinj.
✨ One of the most special features of Advent on Lošinj, as well as the entire Christmas and New Year programme, is its charitable spirit.
All participants will join forces to raise funds through various charity events and auctions, with proceeds donated to support the local community.
