The Twelfth Dubrovnik Winter Festival returns from 29 November 2025 to 3 January 2026, bringing a rich programme that will once again fill Dubrovnik with the magic of the holiday season!

For more than a month, numerous locations, from Lazareti and the Old Town to Lapad and Mokošica, will transform into lively stages filled with music, gatherings and creative activities for all ages. The city will shine in a festive glow, illuminated by more than a thousand sparkling decorations that will further enhance the charm of this most joyful time of the year.

The youngest visitors can once again look forward to their favourite characters, the Bear and his cheerful elves , who will spread holiday cheer through the city streets. The popular North Pole Station, ice rink, and Advent Train in Uvala Lapad return as beloved spots for children, perfect for creating unforgettable family moments.

Music lovers will enjoy large open-air concerts on Stradun, the most beautiful stage in the world, where thousands of visitors gather each year. Traditional advent stalls will once again offer the enticing aromas and flavours of seasonal delicacies, creating a unique winter atmosphere that has become an essential part of the festival experience.

The programme is further enriched by Dubrovnik’s cultural institutions and the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, which are preparing exhibitions, workshops, performances and special themed events that will add an extra touch to the festive spirit.
