Yesterday saw the second edition of the Snovi Vinodolski event. The seaside promenade at Obala Kneza Branimira (by Baran) burst with activity and visitors who savored a magical evening in Novi Vinodolski!

The youngest guests delighted in their own kids’ corner, with animators, various games, crafts, and canvas painting, while Čarolija – details that make a difference provided a romantic photo corner in a sea‑gold theme, beautifully matching the event vibe. Everyone flocked to the Somnia 360 corner to capture the highlights of the evening.

The event also featured a special food‑and‑wine offering. Marina Novi curated a menu of summer cocktails—the perfect refreshment for a hot summer evening. Along the other end of the promenade, visitors enjoyed wines from Pavlomir Winery and seafood specialties like mussels buzara, grilled mackerel, and fried sardines.

Music played a key role! Glamour House Project treated attendees to world-famous hits, while the band Trend heated up the atmosphere with fantastic live performances of both local and international music. A special guest, Elio Bašan, led dance lessons, and people of all ages eagerly joined in and learned new moves.

Another highlight was the fashion show celebrating the beauty of diversity and self-acceptance—featuring women of all ages: mothers and daughters, friends, businesswomen—radiating warmth and positive energy.

The runway was led by Tena Peričić, director of TZG Novi Vinodolski, in support of all the participants—a bold step that was met with great applause!

“I’m thrilled and happy to see so many visitors enjoying the rich program designed for all generations. Snovi Vinodolski is a beautiful event in a stunning location that captured our hearts at first sight, and we’re committed to enriching it each year. I’d like to thank Marija for her collaboration and for organizing this showcase, which truly is a special part of the event. I’d also like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to the 20th Ružica Vinodola, taking place from August 22 to 25 with a rich program. Please continue to follow us and join us for more wonderful occasions like this.” — Tena Peričić
