Marunada

Lovran, Croatia

Oct 8 - 10, 2026Expected

On October weekends the seaside town of Lovran celebrates Marunada, its festival of the marun chestnut that has become a symbol of the town. Chestnut gathering runs deep in Lovran's heritage, and the festival fills the streets with roasted nuts, chestnut sweets, and a strong sense of community.

Media proof note

The Marunada record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.
