Kids Activities

This year at CroatiaaFest, we’re bringing the beach to you! Be sure to stop by Chris’ Kids Corner, a special space for
the young—and the young at heart.
Our theme this year is “Beach Time on the Adriatic!” Dive into a sea of fun with games, hands-on activities, and
discoveries inspired by the amazing ocean creatures that call the Adriatic home, like sea urchins, octopuses,
dolphins, and seahorses.
It’s a place to play, explore, and get inspired by the wonders of the sea.

Consular Days

Representatives from the Croatian Consulate Office of Los Angeles

CroatiaFest 2025 is once again partnering with Consul General Renee Pea of the Consulate General of Croatia in Los
Angeles for Croatian Consular Days at CroatiaFest this year. This a wonderful opportunity to schedule an
appointment locally rather than traveling to Los Angeles for Croatian government business.
Bring your applications, documents to have notarized, certify or renew your Croatian documents, passports,
fingerprints, visas or citizenship in Seattle instead of Los Angeles. To prepare for your appointment, please check the
Consulate General’s website at mvep.gov.hr/us/en to ensure you bring all documentation and materials necessary
for processing.
