Lopar night

In order to preserve customs and tradition and to transfer them to the next generation, as well as to present them to our visitors in an appealing manner, we have established an event called "Lopar night - Return to the Roots". From the very beginning, this has been a spectacle for everyone involved, because the historical play includes both performers and audience into a lively experience. Lopar night brings back to life old arts and crafts, authentic tools that were used and the traditional food that was eaten back then. Traces of those roots are still present in everyday life, some of the tools are still in use or are appreciated as a valuable memento from the past.

The highlight of the evening is a majestic procession honouring the departure of St Marinus, the saint whose roots are originating from Lopar, according to local legend.
