RetrOpatija – an unmissable three-day time machine of enjoyment!

From 26 to 28 June, Opatija will once again become the centre for good times. Three days of fantastic music, dance and excellent cuisine in an unparalleled atmosphere will take us back to the golden decades of the 20th century. From the roaring twenties and elegant fifties, through the rebellious sixties and disco seventies to the energetic eighties – RetrOpatija offers a nostalgic journey into the past and the opportunity to take part in the party of the year.

RetrOpatija is not just a festival – it’s an experience, a journey back to times full of style and soul. Over three days, the town’s streets and parks turn into retro oases full of colours, music, dance and good vibes. Visitors can sing along to retro karaoke, go skateboarding, admire the classic cars on display, visit a retro fair or simply soak up the great festival atmosphere.
RetrOpatija’s climax is on Saturday evening, when the town’s centre will be closed to traffic and transformed into a huge open-air stage. Music and dance will be at every corner, and the Open Air Theatre will become the epicentre of the biggest disco party under the starry sky.
In a dress-up corner, visitors will have the opportunity to get a quick retro makeover with the help of hairdressers, stylists and make-up artists. A retro dress, hat, oversized glasses or just a few stylish details from past decades are enough to turn you into a diva from the fifties, a rock star from the eighties or a charming bon vivant from the golden age of jazz. There are no strict rules – the goal is to enjoy the interplay of styles and fashion combinations that delight, amuse and awaken the imagination.
The town’s bars and restaurants will prepare a special retro offer of food & beverages. Be they prohibition-era cocktails or a glamorous Great Gatsby-style dinner, visitors can expect a gastronomic time machine that will take them to unexpected moments from the past. Come to Opatija and find out why the 40,000 people who visited RetrOpatija last year had fun like never before!
During the three days of RetrOpatija, forget about your worries, put away your mobile phones, and just go with the music that will be all around you. A splendid time is guaranteed for all!
Admission to all programmes is free. However, make sure to book your place in this time machine quickly – accommodation in Opatija and a retro outfit are your ticket! From 26 to 28 June, join us for the three-day party of the century – because while time may fly, RetrOpatija proves that good things are eternal!
