We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming Return series, kicking off in September. As Croatia shifts gears into the "Back to School, Back to Work" season, we’ll be diving into the vibrant energy that autumn brings to Zagreb. From September to October, the city is alive with a renewed sense of purpose as schools, workplaces, and cultural life all spring back into action.
Small Friday International Zagreb, SFIZ.FUN, brings together locals, expats, travellers, Erasmus students, and internationally minded people for relaxed evenings of conversation, language and culture exchange intertwined with good vibes.
No pressure.
No awkward networking.
Just real people and real conversations.

These relaxed, international social meetups are the chance to connect with locals, expats, and travellers. Whether you’ve just landed in Zagreb or lived here for years, SFIZ.FUN meetups offer a space to share cultures, practise languages, make friends, and plan adventures, all over a cold drink in one of Zagreb’s finest beer gardens.
Come solo or bring friends, you’ll find an international crowd, welcoming atmosphere, and plenty of stories to share.
September and October are all about renewal and fresh beginnings. As the city transitions from summer to autumn, the hustle and bustle return, bringing with it a packed calendar of cultural events, festivals, and social gatherings. Whether you’re a long-time local or new to Zagreb, this is the perfect time to immerse yourself in the city’s dynamic atmosphere.
Expect:
Expect lively discussions about autumn traditions from around the world, where you can share and explore customs like Croatia's grape harvesting and olive picking, and discover how different cultures celebrate this season. Plus, get the inside scoop on the best food, wine, and festivals happening in Zagreb and beyond.
🌟 And the best part?
The Beertija, our meetup HQ, isn’t just a venue. It’s an oasis. With its leafy patio, great music, and refreshing drink selection, it’s the kind of place where conversations last hours and laughter fills the air.
So whether you’re looking to improve your language skills, discover hidden gems in and around Zagreb, or simply meet lovely people over a beer, this is your chance.
✨ Ditch the screen, grab a drink, meet the world. ✨
See you soon,
The SFIZ.FUN Crew
