What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The structural choice to give an entire evening exclusively to sevdalinka, rather than blending it into a general folk or pop bill, is unusual even among festivals that nominally cover traditional music, and signals genuine genre depth

02

The mystery stays covered

The event's informal nickname, 'Festival of Love,' reflects how sevdalinka's themes of longing and devotion shape the festival's identity rather than being incidental

03

The city starts moving

With more than seventy performers across editions, it draws a genuinely regional, not just local, roster of traditional and folk musicians
