Events

Rovinj has a season, and the season has a shape. Knowing it is the difference between arriving in the middle of something and arriving the week after it finished.

How the year runs

April and May. The town wakes up. Terraces open, the sea is still cold, and you can park. Good for walking, cycling and eating without booking.

June. Warm water, long evenings, and not yet full. Many regulars think this is the best month.

July and August. Peak. Every terrace full, festivals and concerts most weeks, and the town at its loudest and liveliest. Book early, expect to queue, and take the parking question seriously.

September. Our own favourite. The sea is at its warmest of the year, the crowds thin after the first week, and everything is still open.

October to March. Quiet, and genuinely so. Some restaurants close. Advent in December brings the square back to life for a few weeks.

Before you plan around a date

Dates move from year to year, and a festival that ran last August may not run this one. If you are travelling for a particular event, write to us and we will confirm what is actually happening on your dates before you book anything. We would rather tell you it has moved than have you arrive to find it has.
