The evening will feature a special Lika-inspired menu prepared by the talented team from PLANINA Continental Kitchen, known for their authentic Croatian cuisine. While the full menu is being kept under wraps, organisers promise a culinary experience to remember. They have hinted that the star of the night will undoubtedly be the potato, a staple in Lika’s rustic cuisine. Lička večer will bring surprises and rich, warming flavors that evoke home-style cooking and family gatherings.
Lička večer will also be filled with music provided by the energetic and charismatic Steven Tivanovac, who will perform live on the accordion. His repertoire of beloved Croatian classics is sure to get feet tapping and voices singing along. This will create a joyful and nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of village parties back home.
This event is more than just a dinner – it’s a celebration of identity, tradition, and community. Come dressed in your Lika best, and if you’ve got a lička kapa (Lika cap), don’t forget to wear it with pride! Be sure to capture the moment and send us your favorite photos from the night.
Lička večer welcomes everyone, whether you’re a Lika local, Croatian at heart, or just curious to experience something special. This night promises to deliver laughter, connection, and a warm welcome.
