Experience Fuliranje on Strossmayer Square

Fuliranje on Strossmayer Square brings a vibrant, contemporary twist to Zagreb's celebrated Advent festivities. Translating to 'fooling around,' this lively Christmas market lives up to its playful name with DJs spinning holiday classics and encouraging visitors to dance in the streets. Since relocating to Josip Juraj Strossmayer Square in 2017, Fuliranje has become one of Zagreb's most popular Advent destinations, drawing crowds with its exceptional gastronomic offerings and energetic atmosphere. The market showcases 17 carefully curated food booths featuring some of Croatia's top chefs and restaurants, including Michelin-starred talent and MasterChef personalities. Visitors can savor everything from traditional Croatian sarma (stuffed cabbage) and gourmet burgers to international favorites like ramen, dim sum, and vegetarian options. The culinary excellence extends to the beverage selection, with signature cocktails from Ginglebells, mulled wine, rakija (fruit brandy), and premium wines warming guests throughout the season. The market's creative energy is enhanced by its sophisticated design, featuring palm and olive trees that create an unexpectedly cosmopolitan ambiance. Beyond food and drink, Fuliranje offers live concerts, DJ performances from Wednesday through Sunday, and special events including a charity art project where artists paint wooden trees on-site. Arrive ready to embrace the festive spirit and stay for the unforgettable atmosphere that has helped establish Zagreb's Advent as one of Europe's finest Christmas celebrations.
