In 2028, Zagreb will be the center of European science fiction. The Science Fiction Society SFera has announced that the Croatian capital will host the 50th edition of Eurocon, the largest European convention of this genre, which will be held alongside the jubilee 50th edition of the domestic SFeraKon.

At this year's Eurocon in Berlin, members of the European Science Fiction Society (ESFS) voted on who would host the 2028 convention, and the decision was thus made. The news was announced on Saturday, August 9, 2026, and was reported by Novi list and Prigorski.

Half a Century of Tradition in Zagreb

SFeraKon, which has been held continuously in Zagreb since 1977, is considered the oldest science fiction convention in this part of Europe. For the first time, the jubilee 50th edition in 2028 will be held together with the 50th anniversary of Eurocon. It is an international gathering of authors, illustrators, publishers, and science fiction fans from many European countries.

The organizers believe that the joint celebration of two round anniversaries will attract many participants from Croatia and abroad, and further promote the Croatian SF scene worldwide. Each year, Eurocon is held in a different European country, and the host is chosen two years in advance through a vote by ESFS members.
