Taste the Joy of Summer at the Watermelon Festival

If you're seeking a fun, informal event that brings together community and summer flavor, the Watermelon Festival in Rošini is your spot. Held on August 1, this charming local celebration is centered around, yes, watermelons! Expect tables filled with fresh slices, watermelon-themed competitions, and local food and drink stands.

Live music and dancing go late into the night, making it a great way to mix with locals and enjoy authentic Istrian hospitality. It’s a perfect evening for families with children, but also for couples or solo travelers looking for something refreshingly low-key and real.

The festival offers a taste of Istrian rural life and a great break from the usual tourist trail, just a short drive from the coast but full of personality and smiles.
