Dreams of Vinodol
In the heart of summer, with the whisper of waves and the scent of salt in the air, Novi Vinodolski becomes a place of unforgettable moments. This charming coastal town, radiating a special energy all year round, opens its doors on August 1st to a unique seaside event – Dreams of Vinodol begins a new chapter, blending flavours, fashion, and the scent of the sea!
From 8:00 PM, the Knez Branimir Promenade, specifically the Pod barana terrace near the beautiful Marina Novi, will come alive with delicious aromas, music, lights, and a seaside atmosphere inviting pure enjoyment.
This year, Snovi returns richer than ever. Your taste buds will be tempted by the popular Rijeka restaurant Antack and their food truck with irresistible pizzas, while Drivenik Brewery makes its debut in Novi, offering their refreshing craft beer Kirica. Summer cocktails await at the Marina Novi bar, and wine lovers can indulge in top-quality wines from Pavlomir Winery. Seafood enthusiasts will enjoy marine delicacies prepared by the Ekskluziva d.o.o. team, and everything will be topped off with fragrant, homemade Tonka fritters – the perfect sweet finale.
The evening also carries a touch of femininity and empowerment – a fashion show under the stars delivers a powerful message: every woman is unique, regardless of age or size. Girls, real women, and friends will walk the runway inspired by the sea, wearing creations by Croatian designers with accessories that tell a summer story. For the first time, the beloved Croatian brand Hawe shop will take part in the show and present a promotional stand.
Special attention has also been given to the youngest visitors. The “Sea in a Frame” workshop will turn little hands into underwater world designers. Mini aquariums, paper fish, corals, algae, and even tiny divers will fill wooden frames with the colours of the sea – becoming a magical keepsake for children to take home. More importantly, they’ll learn to create with love for nature.
All around you’ll find creative exhibitors with handmade goods full of soul, photo corners to capture memories, and the heart of the evening will be the Top of the Pops band and DJ Boris – because nothing connects people like music under the stars. A special maritime scenography will be provided by the Burin Sailing Club, and at 11:00 PM, the sky will light up with fireworks.
Everything we love about summer – scents, music, good food, light conversation, smiles, and the sea at our fingertips – will come together on this magical night in Novi Vinodolski.
Join us! Feel the pulse of the evening and become part of a special summer story!
