Until now, it was held in Bele IV park, and this summer for the first time – at Rokovo perivoj
After a number of years of being held in Bele IV park, due to the renovation of the former building of the State Hydrometeorological Institute, Little Picnic is moving to one of the city's most beautiful green oases, Rokov perivoj. There they will once again gather happy people and small local producers, with a handful of fine treats and special moments. This year's first blankets with a view of the city are waiting for you under the canopy of Rokovo perivoje on July 21 from 6 to 11 p.m. , after which Little Picnic will continue to tell its special summer picnic story every next Friday, until August 11 .
What will you eat and drink
The gastronomic offer is, as always, in the worthy hands of a few small producers from Mali plac , the famous mobile market of local products. To quench your thirst, you will be able to choose between craft beer for every taste from the local brewery FRKA Brewery , summer cocktails made with local gin from the Luftbremzer Gin Distillery , colorful Iskreni Matković wines or cold-pressed organic fruit juices from the OPG Korade garden.
Further exploration of the summer flavors of small local producers will lead you through the options of delicate goat and cow cheeses and traditional fritters, potato fritters, pumpkin and vegetable fritters and homemade sourdough pastries and buckwheat crackers, hummus and tahini spreads, hand-pulled dough rolls with apples and plums, and pies from short dough with seasonal fruit .
A unique atmosphere that nourishes the soul
From the Little Picnic menu, be sure to try relaxed conversations by candles, lying barefoot on the grass, special moments together and the occasional glass of wine. It is these experiences, along with the old town ambience and local delicacies, that give the Little Picnic a special charm, putting it on the list of events that you must visit at least once. Therefore, if you spend the summer in Zagreb, reserve at least one Friday to enjoy all those simple things that come with a Little Picnic, let go of all your worries, gather your family and dear friends, take your couple on a romantic date, share a blanket and a snack with the dog…
Mali picnic has an exclusively vegetarian offer , and for vegan and gluten-free options, check with the producers on site. All food is from a local and sustainable source, and the event is plastic-free. One thing is for sure, with everything you try and buy here, you will also get a big thank you for choosing local and supporting small producers and their sustainable story, as directly as possible!
Entry is free, and all you need to bring with you is a good mood! In case of rain, the Small Picnic is postponed to Saturday .
