Vodice will soon shine again in its most magnificent festive attire! From December 12, 2025, to January 3, 2026, the town will become the center of holiday magic and joy – the Vodice Tourist Board and the City of Vodice are once again organizing Advent in Vodice.
Over the years, this event has grown into a favorite gathering place during the holidays, bringing together many locals and visitors who come to enjoy the warm, cheerful, and colorful Advent atmosphere. Everything takes place in the beautiful setting of the town park on Knez Branimir Square, which will once again sparkle this winter with thousands of lights and festive decorations.
The Center for Arts and Culture Vodice presents the unforgettable Women’s Choir Bulbuli, which for three decades has left its mark on Croatia’s cultural landscape, remaining dedicated to preserving sevdalinka while also building new bridges of community.
Sevdalinka sings of love filled with suffering, pain, longing, and desire. It rarely speaks of happy love, but also tells of life, of love for beloved people, mother, wife, man, or of a certain event. It carries philosophy, a message, and metaphorical meaning. Sevdalinka is best performed by those born in Bosnia, as it is inherent in them from birth. It is refined, gentle, never vulgar, with special respect for women and mothers.
The Youth Association Bokon from Vodice is organizing the first “Bokon u glavu” – a big skate session featuring bands from the punk/metal scene.
