In Omišalj and Njivice, each season has its own special story, so we will round off the year with our own Christmas story. A diverse programme will take place at several themed locations decorated with Christmas lights to provide a lasting memory for all visitors.
The story begins on 27 November in the centre of Omišalj with the traditional lighting of the 1st Advent candle and a performance by the parish choir and soloists. The programme continues the same evening in Omišalj Community Centre, where we’ll we open the ice-skating season at 19:00 with a concert by Matija Cvek & The Funkensteins!
The only ice-skating rink on the island of Krk will be operating until 9 January 2022. Until 23 December, it will be open from 17:00 to 20:00 on weekdays and from 12:00 to 20:00 at weekends. During the school holidays (from 27 December until closing), the rink will be open every day from 12:00 to 20:00. Ice skates can be rented for 20 kuna per hour. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced ice skater, we recommend you visit the rink and have a great time!
The Omišalj Memorial Park is the centre of our Christmas Story. This is where you can buy something special to eat and drink, meet Santa Claus, and enjoy concerts on Fridays and weekends with the Coffee Shop Band, The Elephant in the Room, and the Loose Trio Band until 24 December. To round off the Christmas idyll, there will be performances by the Josip Kaplan Youth Choir and Marko Tolja.
Omišalj Campsite has prepared Omi’s Advent Weekend from 10 to 12 December with Santa Claus and a DJ and a special culinary offer for all visitors and guests. You can check the special holiday offer of mobile homes at www.campingomisalj.com. Entrance to the campsite is free.
Visitors to Njivice will be delighted with the magical world of the Nutcracker, the large Christmas tree, a specially decorated photo-point and thousands of lights along the Ribarska Obala waterfront.
The musical part of the programme will include a Christmas concert with the Concordia Discors Choir in front of the parish church in Njivice. Saint Nicholas will be giving out presents in the Kijac Community Centre on 6 December. The same venue will host the Christmas Story children’s play by Scena Gorica theatre production on 23 December.
We invite all our residents and guests to share their Christmas Story with us at #visitomisaljnjivice or #božićnapriča2021
