The story
Krizevci Great Festivities in Krizevci
Krizevacko veliko spravisce, the Great Krizevci Fair, is a three-day mid-June event running more than five decades, built around a fourteenth-century legend of reconciliation between Krizevci's citizens and Kalnik's plum nobility. It is distinct from the town's separate pre-Lenten Fasnik carnival held earlier in the year.
Krizevacko veliko spravisce, the Great Krizevci Fair, has run for more than five decades as a three-day cultural-historical event each mid-June, built around a specific fourteenth-century legend concerning reconciliation between the citizens of Krizevci and the plum-growing nobility of nearby Kalnik, a story the festival's organizers cite as the origin point for the whole tradition of gathering rather than treating the event as generic medieval pageantry.
