Advent in Korčula

30 November 2025 – 6 January 2026

Enjoy the flavors and fragrances of Korčula during Advent
Visit the City of Korčula in December and experience “Advent in Korčula”, an event that showcases traditional island customs—some still cherished, others nearly forgotten. It offers good cheer accompanied by gastronomic delights, sports, musical and cultural events, as well as humanitarian activities that bring us closer together and fill us with joy.
