The Krk Fair, organised by the Krk Town Tourist Board, the Town of Krk and various associations and partners, has always attracted many visitors.
The event’s goal has not changed much over the course of time: it gathers people and offers traditional products and craftwork, presenting local producers and the impressive cultural heritage of the Krk island and town.
The programme on Kamplin Square will offer its visitors a vivid insight into Krk in the Frankopan era. Krk’s history will be recreated by performers impersonating the famous Frankopan Counts of Krk, members of the Kaštel Historical Association, actors from the Frankopan Acting Studio and members of the Maura Kal Archery Club.
The event will feature exhibitions of medieval knights’ equipment, short plays and performance shows, knight tournaments, workshops for children, and presentations of knightly skills. Given the current situation, the opening ceremony will be symbolical only and will not include music performances.
Kamplin Square will be hosting educational workshops for children, while the central event – the fair of authentic traditional and products made by small producers and family farms from Krk and the rest of Croatia – will be held in a few different locations in town.
The performances will take place in the evenings, in a few different locations – the town’s waterfront, Kamplin Square, and Vela Placa Square. A variety of performers will provide a good atmosphere on the Krk waterfront, while the night of St. Lawrence would not be complete without musical fireworks at midnight!
