September has arrived in the city! As you clean your wardrobes and think about putting summer cloths away and activating the autumn accessories, pay attention to a great event programme. Traditional cultural-artistic events, concerts, great sporting events. Everything is available and everything is great.

Art in the center of attention. BITEF 2018 is held at several locations from 13th to 22nd September. The 52nd edition is entitled "World Without Us". The main programme will be marked by as many as ten projects, while the accompanying programme is divided into nine parts. As always, BITEF encourages, motivates and brings an impressive experience. Another eminent event - October Salon begins on 15th September and will last until 28th October. The 2018 edition with a reason has the title "The Marvellous Cacophony" because the topic of this year's iconic event is cacophonic expression, which is an essential segment of contemporary art in the 21st century. Numerous curators from the country and abroad will be hosts in the Gallery of the Cultural Center of Belgrade, the SANU Gallery - Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts Gallery, the building of the Belgrade City Museum and other facilities in which the October Salon will be held.

Music. British top singer Bryan Ferry arrives to Stark Arena on 7th September. Only six days later, on 13th September, the legend of Afrobeat, Femi Kuti with the band "Positive" and the Macedonian Philharmonic Orchestra performs in the capital. ArtLink Festival will be officially opened on 23rd September with the concert "Night of the Piano", featuring a duo from France. Pianists Jean Paul Gasparian and Michael Dalberto are playing in the Great Hall of the Kolarac Endowment from 20:00. This month, no music genre will be neglected. An excellent music list was completed by concerts of metal bands. September sounds very good!


Sport. There are three big sports events on the repertoire. The race organized by Nike - We Fly Bgd is scheduled for 9th September at Usce. The number of places is limited so hurry up with registration. On the same day, but in the center of the city, at 10:00, the "Granfondo Belgrade" bicycle race starts. The event, originating from Italy, has existed for half a century with the aim of promoting bicycling as an indispensable segment of modern life. Team spirit and sport enthusiasm are guaranteed. The last day of the month, 30th September, is reserved for the 2nd Belgrade Half Marathon. A new, yet very popular event will also provide ten kilometers running - Belgrade 10 and the original half marathon length - Belgrade 21. Practise, practise, practise!
