Experience the magic of the holiday season on the island of Vir, where the 2025/2026 Advent program offers a unique blend of coastal tradition, vibrant music, and family-friendly activities. From the festive lights of the Christmas Village to high-energy concerts on the waterfront, Vir has transformed into one of the most vibrant winter destinations in the Zadar Region.
The island’s waterfront stage at Trg svetog Jure will host several major performances starting at 18:00 with free admission:
One of the season’s most anticipated events is the 40th Annual Christmas Bike Ride on December 26. This traditional tour brings hundreds of participants from Zadar to Vir for a 26km ride, ending with a community lunch and entertainment on the island. It is a perfect example of the active tourism spirit that defines the Zadar Region year-round.
Whether you are here for the music, the traditional “lignje” (squid) and “fritule” competitions, or the festive community atmosphere, Advent on Vir promises a fulfilling and unforgettable island stay.
