It will run from May 19 to 28, and the location is truly special – no less than the festival program, of course
From this Thursday, 19.05. Zagreb's favorite spring music street food festival "Beats & Bites" starts again and lasts until Saturday 28.05. This year's ten-day edition of the festival is being held in a particularly interesting location, which is almost completely hidden, and is located in the very center of the city. It is about Krešić's meadows, ie the plateau above the Tuškanac Open Air Cinema, to which a beautiful illuminated forest walk of only 3 minutes leads.
Gastro-sports program
Beats & Bites brings us delicious street food snacks this year as well, but also a great program for young people, which includes themed music evenings, beer pong and white tournaments, pub quizzes and some sports content such as ping pong and table football.
