Nightlife in Rovinj

The local entertainment hub is Monvi, a multimedia centre that includes a night club, an open-air theatre, a number of disco bars, a Mexican restaurant and a pizzeria. It is very popular with locals that travel from neighbouring towns and cities to sample some of its entertainment offerings. Monvi regularly hosts concerts and events with big names from the Croatian popular music scene or international house and techno DJs. Outside of Monvi, nightlife is primarily relegated to coffee bars or local pub-type bars. In the summer months, the city is buzzing with young people although it becomes quiet in the winter, with most bars closing early and Monvi centre being open only on certain weekends.
The busiest area is the very centre of Rovinj, extending from the main bus station toward the old part of town. It is where most bars are located and where locals hang out. Popular bars among young locals are La Tabacheina, Buzz and Sax, the latter sharing an extensive open air terrace on the waterfront with a number of surrounding bars overlooking the pier that in the Summer becomes one of the busiest places in town.

Rovinj's waterfront, called Riva, runs alongside the Adriatic sea bay largely parallel to Carrera street. It is lined with ice cream parlors, bars and restaurants.

Every August, Rovinj hosts Grisia, a popular open air art fair wherein local and international artists exhibit their work on the cobbled streets of Grisia.

Also in August, usually on the last weekend, the city hosts Rovinj Night, a popular open air Summer celebration with local food offerings, beverage and sweet stands, live music over multiple stages and a large fireworks display at midnight.
