In joyful anticipation of the jolliest days of the year, the Tourist Board of the City of Split brought a little bit of holiday spirit of Dalmatia to Zagreb. On Wednesday 25 November from 3:30pm to 6:30pm in the very centre of Zagreb, at the intersection of Bakačeva and Cesarčeva Streets, everyone was welcome to enjoy tasty snacks and great music. Fun was guaranteed. The always perky Marijana Batinić, the hostess of the event and Luka Nižetić, a popular singer from Split, put everyone in the holiday mood by bringing Splitski šušur (the hustle and bustle of Split) and the holiday atmosphere that can be felt on the streets of Split and its squares to Zagreb. At the cooking show „Moja adventska spiza“(“What I cook during the season of Advent“), Luka Nižetić showcased traditional Dalmatian specialties. A popular DJ from Split got visitors into the mood for dancing. The Paradigma Restaurant from Split served delicious food. Visitors got gifts specially prepared for them on this occasion. Visitors were invited to take part in the competition and win – with a little bit of luck – return tickets to Split from Croatia Airlines or HŽ Putnički prijevoz (HZ Passenger Transport), theatre tickets to the Croatian National Theatre of Split, as well as a snack and welcome drink at the Paradox Restaurant in Split.
