August 14, 2019 - A favorite of Zagreb locals, ‘Little Picnic’ returns to the capital’s Upper Town in the second half of August. 

One of the most beautiful locations decorated with the view of the city, a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, a palette of local flavors, and happy and barefoot people.

All of this is brought to the Upper Town this August for the popular ;Little Picnic', one of the most charming Zagreb events.

Already after the first issue, Little Picnic positioned itself on the list of the best gastronomic events in Zagreb, thanks primarily to the gastronomic offer of local OPGs, with a focus on native and naturally grown local produce. And it’s hard to beat the romantic setting, intimate atmosphere and old town ambiance that create the charming combination which attracts more and more visitors year after year. 

While Little Picnic pioneers know all about the standard social gatherings on Thursdays, Jutarnji List reports that this year, guests can also enjoy the stellar views of the city on Fridays. So, if you’re looking to cool off from the scorching August sun, this is your chance to trade in the summer sweat-drenched clothing for some shady refuge on August 22nd and 23rd, and 29th and 30th, for one of Zagreb’s favorite summer events.

Visitors are encouraged to break away from the city bustle and recharge their summer batteries with the homemade flavors from the summer menu of Mali Plac, a favorite mobile organic local market. This authentic picnic oasis inspires nothing more than bare feet on the grass, relaxing by candlelight, and engaging with strangers. 

Whether you’re up for a romantic date, prefer to share a blanket and snack with your dog, are hoping to gather all of your family and friends for an intimate evening outdoors, or can’t wait for a solo sip of local wines, this community picnic is a delight for all parties involved. 

In cooperation with the Zagreb Tourist Board, Little Picnic will again spread its blankets overlooking the city and tell a different summer picnic story in one of Zagreb's most beautiful locations in the Upper Town (Bela IV Park). Better yet, the entrance is free!
