Zagreb’s popular Advent attraction, Fuliranje, is set to return to Strossmayer Square this winter. Celebrating its 13th year, the festival embraces the theme “Nature and Society”, drawing inspiration from environmental awareness, curiosity and creativity.

Strossmayer Square will be transformed into an open-air classroom, decorated with playful installations and enriched with a special Nature and History Trail.

Through stories of Strossmayer, Lenuci, Bollé and other prominent figures, visitors will discover Zagreb’s history in a fresh, interactive way.

Special collaborations with the UNUO Association and Sve za nju will highlight social inclusion and women’s health, while Saturdays will spotlight female DJs and choirs.
