Never Bigger, Never Stronger. The 26th Biograd Boat Show will show all its strength with a never stronger and always recognizable entertainment program, which moves upward during Friday towards the climax on Saturday evening with Orion's fireworks and the Soul Fingers concert.
Even during the duration of the nautical exhibition, visitors will be able to enjoy the acrobatics of the traditional guest of the largest Central European nautical fair, "Rocketman" Christian Buchmair, who will pretty much foam the sea inside the Kornati marina with his Flyboard show starting at 14:00.
The fashion show Duchess surrounded by Sanlorenzo and Frauscher vessels and Porsche cars will ideally serve as a kind of warm-up for the fashion and music evening in Hall B. The show starts at 17:30 in the new part of the fair in the renovated City Harbour.
Art lovers will have the opportunity to ennoble the start of the weekend with the opening of the exhibition of local painter Ivica Vuksan Zembo called "What is the sea but the fantasy" starting at 18:30 inside the fair in Hall C, with of course free entry for all interested parties.
And from 20:00, all the stage lights will turn to Hall B in the western part of the Kornati marina, where for the first time at the Biograd Boat Show, the Miss World - Zadar County Pageant will be held, where seven beautiful girls will try to win the tiara Gemstone gallery by Ivana Milun and so place in the finals of the 30th Miss Croatia for Miss World.
The grand finale of the hilariously fun Friday at the Biograd Boat Show will be played by the Disco Magic Band, who will sail towards the crazy 80s of the last century with the sounds of disco hits. The concert starts at 21:45 in Hall B, with free entry.
From midnight, the Afterparty takes place, directed by DJ Housemusic.
