U neposrednom zaleđu Vrsara i Poreča smjestio se Sveti Lovreč - jedan od najbolje sačuvanih srednjovjekovnih utvrđenih gradova u Istri prožet vjerskim motivima. U spomen toga, prije svakog Božića ondje se održavaju tradicijski blagdani za sjećanje i obnovu te ere. Organiziraju ga lokalni redovnici: oni dijele stari kruh, iznose bivole i druge životinje, a u nekim zgradama reproduciraju tadašnje zanate. Također, jedan od najvažnijih događaja zimskog doba su žive jaslice. Tri večeri između 20.12. i 06.01. u večernjim satima više od 150 kostimiranih sudionika dočaravaju atmosferu najljepše betlehemske noći. Na glavnom trgu organiziran je Božićni sajam gdje njegovi posjetioci mogu kupiti različite ručno izrađene ukrase i suvenire. To je moguće zbog činjenice da je grad vrlo dobro očuvan. Zaštitnik Svetog Lovreča je sveti Lovre- kršćanski mučenik i đakon, a njegovo ime nosi i prekrasna crkva svetog Lovre koja potječe iz davnog 8. stoljeća, dok je romanički zvonik uz nju prigrađen u 11. stoljeću, a nalazi se nedaleko naselja - na mjesnom groblju. Kružni oblik naselja potječe još iz prapovijesti kad je na istoj uzvisini bila gradina. Već je u doba Bizanta Lovreč utvrđen bedemima i kulama koje su kasnije u više navrata temeljito obnavljane, a najveći dio danas vidljivih fortifikacija potječe iz iz doba Venecije kada je u Svetom Lovreču billo sjedište vojne uprave čitavog mletačkog dijela Istre.
