Fiction, sci-fi, horror, thriller, suspense, animation, drama and experimental film are the genres that appear here. This summer event is an open-air film festival set up at the atmospheric locations of Gradec and Tuškanac. Some sense that the old legends of Zagreb such as the Witch from Grič and the Bloody Bridge may be reappearing here, hehehe!

Every three years, this event presents a crosssection of the best of Croatian sculpture since the previous Triennale. Artists compete for one of four prizes, while the winner of the Grand Prize gets a solo show at the next Triennale. This year you can see the work of last time’s winner, Predrag Pavić.

The craft of lacework in Croatia is centuries old (the intertwining of threads and lace into a decorative item) and was common amongst peasants. UNESCO has enlisted the lace craft in Croatia under its list of non-material heritage, and this exhibit celebrates this milestone and in doing so, presents some fantastic textile pieces in the process.

From classical music through jazz to folk, true music lovers are in for a treat in the Zagreb summertime. The strains of music reach you as you round every corner of the old parts of the city, filling the night with romance. Zagreb Summer Nights present both well-known artists and young performers, who bring great spirit and modernity to the proceedings.

Croatia’s finest national folk dance ensemble LADO will bring cheer to your Holy Season with a vocal and instrumental performance pertaining to Christmas. Their spectacular choreography and harmonious undertones have travelled the world over. Not to be missed, and the event takes place at the Saint Anthony of Padua Church, at Zagreb’s Sveti Duh. Zagreb is a colourful and cosy place to be in the run-up to Christmas. The city’s favourite gathering places, its squares, are enlivened with live music of all kinds. Of course, everything is decorated, and stalls sell winter warmers like spicy sausages, mulled wine and Zagreb specialities. A Christmas Fair displays products made by Croatian artisans: toys, jewellery, art, food and drink - which all make for perfect gifts.

All the venues of the Student’s Centre at Savska 25 will be jam-packed with this traditional event which promotes the works of artists across all fields (theatre, dance, performance, film, fine arts, music and design). It’s a stage to exemplify one’s talent, knowledge, skill and craft. Free entry!

Just one take: montage, cutting and splicing are banned here! This format encourages an exciting approach to all kinds of genres. This festival has spawned similar events elsewhere, but the Zagreb one is the original and best. A fun event with loads of going on, and guests from around the world wondering who will win this year’s Grand Prix.

Viva le Paris! The holy ground of modern fine art became a stronghold in the early 20th century for Croatian painters to master their talents.

See works by Bukovac, Račić, Kraljević, Šohaj, Dešković, Meštrović and many others. 230 paintings, watercolours, prints and sculptures can be seen featuring Parisian landscapes, cafes and other sources of inspiration.

International success has seen Mladen Stilinović travel the world and present his form of conceptual art. He has attended many Biennials and his works can be found in renowned museum collections such as the Vanabbe Museum in Eindhoven and Moderna Museum in Stockholm. Over 500 of his works in different media will be presented here.

Dieses Festival erlangte dadurch zu Ruhm, indem es anfing, die weltbesten Jazz-Diven in unsere schöne Stadt einzufliegen. Entgehen lassen sollte man es sich auch definitiv aus dem Grund nicht, da es eine ausgezeichnete Gelegenheit ist, Künstlerinnen zu erleben, die die gegenwärtige kroatische Jazz-Szene zum Leuchten bringen.

Das Kravat-Regiment war eine Leichtkavallerie, die im 17. Jahrhundert gegründet worden war und deren Soldaten neben ihrem Heldentum bekannt wurden wegen ihrer leuchtend roten Halstücher, die ihnen beim Abschied von ihren Herzliebchen um den Hals geschlungen wurden. Die attraktive Zeremonie der Wachablösung führt Sie zu den berühmten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt.

Natalie Dessay verkörpert in dieser innovativen und modernen Produktion der La Traviata die tragische Kurtisane Violetta Valéry – eine berührende Geschichte über die Liebe und wie sie dann doch auf ewig verloren geht!

Im Frühling erwachen die Straßen in Zagreb durch die Musik und den Hauch vergangener Zeiten zu Leben. Entspannen Sie sich in den Parkanlagen Zrinjevac und Maksimir bei Promenadenkonzerten und seien Sie nicht überrascht, wenn Sie bei hellen Tageslicht Figuren aus der Vergangenheit begegnen!

In der Zagreber Oberstadt geht es hoch her wenn der Amadeo Club mit Sommer-Musicals, Theater– und Filmprogrammen aufwartet. Das AmadeoffFestival, das 2011 als eine Alternativ-Bühne für unkonventionelle Formen der Performance und der Amateurdarbietungskunst vorgestellt wurde, ist auch dieses Jahr dabei.

Das 46. Internationale Folklore Festival widmet sich dieses Jahr dem Thema Kinder und Folklore und zu den Programmpunkten zählen außerdem noch Konzerte, traditionelle Kirchenmusik, Ethnomusik und Tanz-Workshops. Die Aufführungen finden auf dem Gradec in der Oberstadt, dem Ban Jelačić Platz und auf Veranstaltungsplätzen außerhalb von Zagreb statt.

Die heißeste Konzert-und Musik Tour des Jahres kommt jetzt zum ersten Mal auch nach Zagreb!

Diese LA Rock/Funk/Punk Band ist fest entschlossen, diesen Sommer die Bühne so richtig zu rocken.

Dieses Festival, das in verschiedenen Theatern der Stadt abgehalten wird, verleiht der Kultursaison zu einem super Start, indem es das Beste des diesjährigen Europa- und Welttheaters direkt auf die Zagreber Bühnen bringt.

Als einer der wichtigsten Sportwettkämpfe zieht diese Veranstaltung Top-Athleten vom höchsten Kaliber an, darunter Olympiamedaillengewinner, Weltmeister und Rekordbrecher. Lassen Sie sich mitreißen und begeistern und werden Sie Teil des Sportgeists!

10 Tage Spaß und Heiterkeit lassen hier eine regelrechte Karnevalsstimmung aufkommen! Den Schlüssel zum Dauerspaß liefern über 100 Konzerte, die die zahlreichen Bierhallen und Bühnen zum Toben bringen, jede Menge Alkohol und Essen, und sogar auch ein Lunapark für Kinder mit Theatershows, Ponyreiten, Trampolinen, Clowns, Zauberern und vielem mehr. Spaß in Hülle und Fülle!

In dieser Nacht gastieren in bestimmten Zagreber Clubs einige der größten Namen der elektronischen Musik und Stars aus der europäischen Clubszene. Das Ticket ermöglicht euch, in jeden Schuppen hinein zu schnuppern und mit dem Party Shuttle-Bus die anderen Clubs zu besuchen.

Denn- „Die Nacht gehört euch!“ Ein Festival, das einige wahre Größen aus der Welt des Jazz dazu bringt, den Zagreber Herbst aufzuheitern. Schließen Sie sich dem Heer der Jazz-Liebhaber an und ergeben Sie sich einem vier Tage langen Fußwippen, Fingerschnipsen und Bartkraulen…einfach klasse!
