Erik Radin Memorial Spearfishing Tournament
In mid-May, Erik Radin Sport Fishing Club from Novigrad will organise a traditional three-day memorial spearfishing tournament.
The tournament was set up in the memory of a sport fisherman, Croatian national team member and the 2010 world champion in boat fishing, Erik Radin, who tragically departed at the age of twenty-two. With the help of his friends and colleagues, his family established the Erik Radin Sport Fishing Club with this memorial tournament as one of its first major activities.
Many other activities, such as interesting public lectures on spearfishing, and the catch weighing in Mandrač, the Novigrad port, will be organised in addition to a three-day tournament.
Attendees can participate in a lottery game to win part of the catch and have fun at a lovely fishermen's fiesta, organised by the club to treat the visitors to delicious fish specialties and homemade wine.

The Golden Lion
At the end of June, the streets and squares in Umag become the stage to the numerous theatre fleets from Croatia, Slovenia, Italia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia. In this period, the streets live their lives fully thanks to the Golden Lion, the international chamber theatre festival.
This multicultural event that gathers numerous writers, directors, choreographers, set designers, composers and of course, actors, chose Umag, a city of a long theatre tradition, as its home town. Namely, in 1820, while Antonio Coslovich was building the Al Leon d'oro hotel, it was decided that he should also set the theatre next to the hotel, the first of its kind in the region.

Sardine Festival
The second in a series of gourmet events, which make up this year’s Novigrad Gourmet Festival Gnam-gnam Fest, is dedicated to the sardine and other oily fish.
It has long been known that oily fish, perhaps the most widely known of which is the sardine, are a very rich source of protein, unsaturated omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D and vitamins of the B group, making them a particularly healthy and desirable part of our diet. If you wish to reduce the level of cholesterol in your body, improve the elasticity of blood vessel walls and in this way aid the regulation of your blood pressure and reduce the risk of clogged blood vessels, the sardine and other oily fish – anchovies, mackerel, tuna – should be on your table as often as possible.
