Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2026/2027
The day starts with the noon celebration in front of the Arena featuring Gustafi, a family friendly party for all ages. In the evening the Forum takes center stage: the city welcomes the new year with Bajaga & Instruktori, followed by Night Express. According to event listings the evening program begins between 20:00 and 21:00 and runs past midnight; please confirm the exact start time with the organizer. If you prefer something more alternative, the Kaštel hosts the party with Prti Bee Gee.
Important note on clubs and discos: at the time of research, the clubs and bars of Pula had not yet published their own New Year's Eve parties with dates, line ups or entry prices. We therefore list only confirmed events and will add club parties once they are officially announced. Ask your preferred club directly, as table reservations are common on New Year's Eve.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Pula
- The old town is best explored on foot; try to arrive without a car, as streets around the Forum and Arena are very busy on New Year's Eve
- Winters in Pula are mild, but evenings are cool and windy; bring warm clothing and sturdy shoes for the cobblestones
- Book accommodation and table reservations early, as New Year's Eve is one of the most in demand dates of the year in Istria
- Plan your way home: taxis are scarce after midnight, so a stay within walking distance of the old town makes sense
- Check the official event page shortly before your visit, since start times and the program may still change
