6th Kvarner Festival of the Sea and Maritime Tradition

FESTIVAL PROGRAMME ► Wednesday, 31 May ► Thursday, 1 June ► Friday, 2 June ► Saturday, 3 June ► Sunday, 4 June ► Monday, 5 June► Tuesday, 6 June ► Wednesday, 7 June

RIJEKA

RIJEKA IS THE CENTRE OF KVARNERQuaternarius is the Latin name for a place combining four extremes: mountains from the north, islands from the south, rocky coast from the east and a large peninsula from the west, with the clash of the south and north winds, the east and west commercial, customary and civilisation influences.

This is Kvarner, and the centre of Kvarner is Rijeka.

Rijeka – Fiume – Rika – Reka is a city where different nations, cultures and languages have intertwined for centuries. Rijeka has always remained Rijeka, itself, independent and special. But always true to the sea, bound to the sea and opened through its harbour to the entire world. The wind whizzing along the edges of sails and the call of the sea, “Mare Nostrum” – the Mediterranean, have always attracted Rijeka to the sea, the place where the Rječina enters the sea. This is the venue of the festival Fiumare. Rijeka market, and especially the fish market, the bus, railroad and sea passenger terminals, ships, restaurants and hotels, fishing vessels, tourist sailing boats… these are all parts of a “living tissue” of the city where the way of life has not changed for centuries.

By intertwining and respecting the tradition, the festival FIUMARE and the city of Rijeka – Port of Diversity – European Capital of Culture 2020 create a new future together.

The sea connects coasts and ports, it connects people. The sea opens views. Maritime cities propagate multiculturalism as a way of life and creation.

By connecting the maritime and commercial tradition of the past with contemporary everyday life, FIUMARE – Kvarner Festival of the Sea and Maritime Tradition becomes a sort of time machine on authentic locations of Delta – Mrtvi Kanal (Dead Canal) and Verdijeva Street – a connection between the market and the port.

The traditional wooden sailing boats in Mrtvi Kanal, merchants and craftsmen in traditional costumes from all parts of Kvarner, interactive seamanship and fishing skills workshops, ship modelling workshops and the promotion of old customs, photographs and paintings, gastronomic offer of autochthonous meals and wine, formal convoy of ships and boats, fishermen night, numerous thematic exhibitions and films, educational lectures, workshops intended for children, poetry evening, open doors of museums, libraries and the astronomical center, regattas of traditional sailing boats… it is a patchwork of revived images of Mrtvi Kanal through centuries.

This is the FIUMARE festival.

Welcome!
