The official open air program of the City of Zadar runs at two locations: on Trg Petra Zoranića, Nina Badrić performs first, followed by Big CroDance Party with dance hits of the 1990s; at the city market, Psihomodo Pop takes the stage. The city has not yet published exact times. These events set the frame for the night, after which the party moves on to the clubs of the old town.

Guma Night Club, Podroom Night Club, Hype Bar, Ledana Lounge Bar & Club and The Garden Lounge Bar are the other well known addresses for parties in Zadar. For these venues, the 2026/2027 New Year's program was not confirmed at the time of research; line ups, times and conditions should be checked directly with the operators.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Zadar

• Zadar's old town is a pedestrian zone and most clubs and bars are close together, so you can walk between venues and do not need a car on New Year's Eve
• Late December is cool and windy in Zadar (the Bora wind); dress warmly and bring a jacket for the open air performances
• Accommodation for New Year's Eve books out early; reserve in or near the old town if possible
• Many clubs enforce an age limit (for example 21+ at Svarog Bar last year); bring photo ID
• Check line ups, door times and ticket prices with the venues shortly before the date, as many clubs only announce their program in December
