Famous for its original concept and good vibes, Fooling Around (Fuliranje) is going to welcome its guests with brilliant music, great food offer and plenty of good entertainment from November 29, 2018, till January 1, 2019, on Strossmayer square in downtown Zagreb.

Last year’s ‘Best Advent event in Zagreb’, chosen by visitors in a Zagreb Tourist Board pol, is almost ready for this year, for the most radiant edition ever, highlighted by dance rhythms on two stages. 

This winter, Fooling Around (Fuliranje) is going global. The entire concept has been internationalised, from the music programme and food offer to the marketing strategy.

“Our FULL cool empire of entertainment and music will be a residence for more than 60 performers, 12 international and 25 regional DJs and 7 bands. Danny Krivit, Justin Robertson, Big Danny Kane, Dean Sunshine Smith, Bobby Beige, Ilija Rudman, Antonio Zuza and Felver are just a few of them. For the first time in Zagreb, we will host the open-air, worldwide sensation Queen Real Tribute Band to honour Freddie Mercury and one of the best bands in music history,” organisers said, before adding.

“The music programme has been curated by the Adriatic Coasting Agency, and in cooperation with them, we prepare a big surprise – a free New Year’s Eve 2019 with Defected featuring some famous names such as Todd Terry, PEZNT, Andy Daniell, Black Soul and many others. Furthermore, for the first time Fooling Around will introduce its stage No. 2 powered by BSH events with the special daily music programme in a closed and warm dome on Strossmayer Square. Children choirs will take care for the comfy Sunday atmosphere and on Mondays, we are going classic with musicians from Zagreb’s Music Academy.”

More than 40 of the best Croatian restaurants and bars from the coast and continent are building together a gastronomic empire. Also, some of the new and talented culinary artists will have their great premieres right at the event. Numerous pots of delicacies and unusual combinations from all over the world will be simmering, including almost forgotten traditional Croatian dishes, street food varieties of Scandinavian, Swiss, South American and Asian specialties, and sweet bites from Austria, Czech Republic and Spain.

We underline special craft beer offer by The Garden Brewery, and they also prepare a special, limited edition beer available only at Fooling Around.”

The Santa Claus heated house with daily shows will become a real kid’s attraction. Don’t forget to bring your pets to the party as the Dog’s bistro has an original offer for furry friends.
