Advent in Krk 2025 – Music, Lights and Holiday Spirit
In December, the town of Krk once again turns into a stage for holiday magic. From December 6 to 31, the old town, Veli Park and the semi-dome in the town center will transform into a place of gathering, light and warmth, where tradition and contemporary spirit come together to create an unforgettable Advent experience.
This year’s fifth edition of Advent in Krk offers a rich musical program, charming Advent chalets with festive culinary delights, children’s plays and workshops, and a new feature – Krk Winter Trails, an outdoor segment that combines the holiday spirit with an active experience in nature.
