The city authorities, proud of Marko Purišić, whose artistic name is Baby Lasagna, will install a huge LED screen to enable watching the live broadcast from Malmö.
Entertainment programmes by local singers will usher in the broadcasting of the final evening of this year's Eurosong contest.
Apart from Purišić's hometown, other cities across Croatia are also going to organise open-air parties during Saturday night in anticipation of Baby Lasagna's excellent performance and possible victory,
According to foreign media, oddsmakers have Croatia heavily tipped to win. "It would be that nation’s first victory in 30 attempts, although Riva, a band from Croatia, triumphed in 1990 when their country was still part of Yugoslavia," the Billboard said.
Euronews wrote in a comment that "Croatia deserves to win this year."
"‘Rim Tim Tagi Dim’ was written by Mr. Lasagna himself and is reminiscent of last year’s ‘Cha Cha Cha’ in the way it utilises the quintessential Eurovision aesthetic of pairing heavy metal instrumentation with folk trappings of the native country. It’s a head banging, foot stomping, sing-along nonsensical insta-classic," according to the Euronews media outlet's article headlined "Who will win Eurovision 2024? Here are Euronews Culture's predictions".
