Advent in Arena

About the event:

Daily program

The final preparations behind the walls of the amphitheater as part of “Advent in Pula - L’Avvento a Pola” are nearing completion, ensuring that the Christmas magic will begin on December 6th.

At the center lies a large ice rink spanning an impressive 600 m². Decorative elements inspired by the legend of fairies will evoke a mythical story connected to the site throughout the Advent period. The stone stands have been transformed into a snow-covered forest with 111 pine trees, complemented by special fog effects and numerous lighting features. Behind the stands, there are three light tunnels, one of which will offer an exceptional visual experience with a thematic video projection.

The grand opening of the ice rink and the lighting ceremony, with a countdown, will take place on December 6th at 6:00 PM, with gates opening to visitors at 5:30 PM.

A special program is being prepared by the Medo Skating Club from Zagreb, whose 50 skaters, through fairy-tale costumes, lavish sets, and ballet music, will bring beloved stories to life, including Cinderella, Snow White, The Three Little Pigs, and more. Pula musician Kristina Iveković will add to the musical magic, while the holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas” will mark the moment when visitors with tickets for the 7:00 PM session can step onto the ice and join the Medo Club skaters.

Visitors will be able to enjoy numerous thematic attractions and Christmas delights that will run until January 6, 2025.
