Christmas Fair
At the time of the December holidays the Unesco World Heritage City of Dubrovnik will shine with magical decorations and sparkle with fairy lights, creating the atmosphere of a fairy-tale renaissance city. Taste sour orange marmalade pancakes, kontonjata (quince cheese) and arancini (candied orange peel) along with a glass of brandy that will keep you warm, in the same way the traditional Dubrovnik carols on
Christmas Eve have warmed our hearts for centuries. The Dubrovnik Carol is a special custom. Singing “from door to door” groups of people wish Merry Christmas, see the old year out and welcome the new one. Like major metropolises, Dubrovnik organizes an open-air New Year’s Party with entertainment and live music on one of the world’s most beautiful stages in the open air located by the City bell-tower. Cascade of firework lights begins to fall down at midnight.
Festival of St Blaise
The greatest joy and pride of the people of Dubrovnik is the Festival of St Blaise, taking place on 3 February when both the Dubrovnik Patron Saint’s Day and the City of Dubrovnik Day are celebrated. The festival of St Blaise has been included in the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The best way to see the reason for this inclusion is to visit Dubrovnik early in February when the banners of the parish churches of Dubrovnik and its surroundings are carried in the streets followed by a procession of people of faith.
“When Latins go crazy”
is the old proverb which describes the days of carnival and masked balls in Dubrovnik. If you are fond of wearing a mask, you will definitely have a good time in Dubrovnik at carnival time. Masked cooks will offer you sporchi macaroni, the local dish prepared in front of you by the Orlando Column in Stradun, in the very heart of the city. Along with doughnuts, this speciality is an unmissable part of the Last Carnival Day menu.
