Verudela Authentic: 100% Handcraft Experience
This summer, Punta Verudela becomes a meeting place for local creativity, tradition and authentic experiences. As part of the “Verudela Authentic - 100% Hand Craft” event, organised by Handmade Istria and Arena Hospitality Group, every Thursday from 19:00 to 22:00, guests have the opportunity to discover the finest handmade products from Istria - directly from those who create them.
At Verudela Avenue, local artists, craftsmen and creatives present their work: from jewellery, ceramics and textiles to natural cosmetics, artworks and local products such as liqueurs and honey. This is not just a market, but an experience that connects people, stories and tradition.
Authentic Istria Through the Hands of Artists
Each Thursday brings a diverse selection of exhibitors, with creators from different fields rotating throughout the summer: from ceramics, jewellery and textiles to art, cosmetics and homemade products. Among them are regular participants such as ceramic artists, jewellery designers, natural cosmetics producers and artisans creating unique handmade souvenirs.
We especially highlight July 15th and August 12th, when folklore evenings take place in the Zen Garden, further enriching the event with music and tradition.
More Than a Souvenir
Verudela Authentic - 100% Hand Craft offers more than just shopping, it is an opportunity to:
- meet the makers and hear their stories
- support local artists and small producers
- discover original, handmade products
- take home a true piece of Istria
