Karlovac: If Slavonske Lole play, we won’t be there

- We have planned to celebrate the New Year at Ban Jelacic Square. But, if Slavonske Lole band is going to play there, maybe we won’t…. – Kresimir Pavlacic, a Karlovac citizen says.

Expensive bands

His statement is in accordance with the majority of the public, who think that the choice of entertainers is not for the urban population. Nevertheless, the crowd will fill the place called “Stari plac” and they will celebrate the New Year in the big tent, as they did with Jasmin Stavros a year before.

The fireworks are provided by the firm Pleter, and the food and drinks, as well as the sound, security and all other technical items will be provided by the firm Fest.

Apart from Lola, the gathered people will be entertained by the band Strings. The costs of the organization are 90 thousand HRK. The city of Karlovac gave 100 thousand. The way of celebrating New Year depends on less and less money, not only for the consumers, but also for the restaurant owners.

Therefore, many of the restaurant owners won’t organize the New Year Dinners. They say it is not profitable because they can’t pay the organization costs, not to mention the costs of the bands. There are, of course, those that prepare the New Year Eve like for example, La Mirage restaurant. You can get food and drinks, all inclusive, with the music played by Dinamico band.

The same price is in Duga Resa hotel. There are food and drinks included and the group Kocka secera are in charge of entertainment. The cafés will be open as they are during the weekends, they won’t charge the entrance fee, but they won’t offer anything to eat as well. The New Year’s Eve will be celebrated in the restaurant Kristal in Karlovac as well. The hotel Frankopan in Ogulin has offered the package 1590 worth. It includes the live music entertainment, the Fuzine event with sausages, vine and skating and Plitvice lakes excursion on the 1^st of January.

The majority at home

The majority of citizens will celebrate the New Year’s Eve in their own homes or with their friends and family. Those who are fond of winter sports can join the HOC Bjelolasica activities where they organize the New Year’s Eve event with Jacques Houdek.

Some of the restaurants won’t organize the very New Year’s event but they will have the event’s replay. For example, Lovacki rog will organize only this: the price of 150 HRK includes food, drinks and music. The hotel Duga Resa will have the same. For the price of 90 HRK they will get the dinner and will be able to dance at the music of the band.
