Fuzine is a beautiful town in Gorski Kotar, Croatia, located 730m above sea-level where the mountains meet the sea, up and inland of northern coast towards Rijeka. Picturesque mountains surround Fuzine, and so do the centuries-old evergreen forests and the beauty of its Bajer and Lepenica lakes.
Summer refreshment can be found fishing or sailing on the lakes. Attractive hiking, cycling and mountaineering routes are marked; you can go horseback riding and ride in carriages or tour the landscape on a tourist train. “Summer in Fuzine” is a traditional event, and the Old Year Send-Off/Greeting of the New Year, which takes place in the open every 31st December at noon exactly, is also famous and attracts an increasing number of visitors from all over the world.
Partying at Fuzine Croatia
Well actually, I think the people of Fuzine have found the perfect way to celebrate the New Year because, there, the celebrations include everyone: the old, the young, the children, the pets… What better way to greet the New Year than to be with everyone you love and live with as well as voisitors and revellers from elsewhere. This year Fuzine has ushered in the New Year exactly at Noon on New Year’s Eve for the 17th time. Each year more and more people come from outside Fuzine to take part in this unique community event; some 15 thousand guests/tourists came to Fuzine this year to witness this unique and most jolly event and that is a very high number given that the population of Fuzine and its surrounding villages is only about 1600. But what beautifully spirited 1600 it is! The New Year’s party on the town’s streets and square, of course, goes on till several hours after midnight New Year’s Day but by then the children have well participated in it and so have family pets. This year’s New Year’s party in Fuzine offered the purchase of yellow balloons for charitable fundraising purposes and on which New Year’s messages and resolutions were then written. Following are some photographs from Fuzine’s New Year’s party at Noon on New Year’s Eve 2015. Enjoy while clicking on images to enlarge. Ina Vukic, Prof. (Zgb);B.A., M.A.Ps. (Syd)

Oh how wonderful! Happiest and healthiest New Year my wonderful friend.
I thought too – and it gets bigger and bigger every year, this year people from Italy, Austria, Germany….came to the event. A real feel good story my friend Cindy 🙂
Yes, they know how to throw a party! Interesting that the New Year festivities are at noon. Thank you! 🙂
I love the idea, Fabio – especially because the kids can join in the festivities at Noon rather than Midnight 🙂
That’s very true, Ina! Glad that the weather was friendly. Thanks much! 🙂
😀

Ina Sretna Vam Nova Godina. Happy New Year. God’s blessings to you and your fine work in 2016. Zivjela.
Aw, thank you Veronika – Happy New Year to you too – Sretna Nova Godina i vama 🙂
A lovely post Ina. I do wish you a very happy New Year. Can I suggest a post that you can write? I’ll be delighted to do so; and I think many of your readers would love it.
Interesting proposition, Ngobesing – let me know what post you think I should write 🙂
Cheers
I am happy with your response. I know you might have written on it already. If not, I think that the rest of the world, especially young people are hungry to know about education in other countries. How is university education in Croatia? Are there openings for foreign students, etc? This is my prompt Ina. If it’s not possible now at least you should be thinking about it. Thanks for listening to my suggestion.
Great idea, Ngobesing, I shall try and compile an article in near future. Cheers
Sweet you! Hugs!
😀
Very beautiful celebration and hope you enjoyed a wonderful celebration, Ina. Hugs, Robin ♡ xo
I did, Robin, I did thank you 😀
