HOLIDAY WINTER EVENT CALENDAR FOR 2025

This holiday season, Luštica Bay invites you to Meet Under The Light for days full of wonder and nights full of warmth. When the shimmer of the Adriatic meets the spirit of the community, and both are made richer by the encounter.

Every weekend from 30th November to 4th January will play host to live musical spectacles, festive markets, and creative workshops. The pinnacle celebrations of Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day will be a beautiful distillation of 2025. And a final closing celebration on 7th and 8th January will carry the glow of the holidays into the hope of 2026.

Marina Village is all dressed up and cosy. Piazza Centrale is all light and lively. And a dedicated kids program will keep the youngest busy with face painting, interactive games, and memorable moments with Santa Claus.

Whether you’re a resident, guest or visitor, little or larger, join us for the upcoming festivities, and come find the magic of the Mediterranean winter. A season lit through connection, celebrated in style.
