The largest festival of events, destinations and tastings in the region, successfully presented all the best that Serbia has to offer to domestic and foreign tourists during the three festival days
Monday 2nd of June 2025
Over the past weekend, in one of the most beautiful parks in the city, on Kalemegdan near the "Fisherman" fountain, another Belgrade Manifest was successfully held. The festival was realized under the auspices of the City of Belgrade, within the event "Belgrade Family Days", and with the significant support of the city municipality Stari Grad and the PE "Belgrade Fortress".
The opening ceremony was enhanced by a great performance by the Police Orchestra, as well as an address by the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Tourism and Youth, Mr. Aleksandar Vukicevic, who emphasized the importance of the Manifest for the development of event tourism in Serbia and declared the 11th Belgrade Manifest open.
This year, the festival once again offered visitors event tourism, a selected gastronomic offer, spa tourism, cultural and historical heritage from all parts of Serbia, all in one place, ideal for researching and planning an extended weekend, during which we can get to know the charms of domestic tourist destinations. This year, guests from the region also presented themselves, so visitors had the opportunity to get to know the tourist offer of Herceg Novi, Budva, Kotor and Bar before the summer tourist season.
"Masta moze svasta" (Imagination can do anything) was once again the most joyful and creative zone, where children enjoyed children's plays, dance and musical performances, jugglers, stilt walkers and various costumed heroes, as well as free creative workshops.
"Konji vrani" (Black horses) once again delighted the youngest, who, with the help of members of the "Bela griva" equestrian club from the Belgrade Hippodrome, had the opportunity to get acquainted with these noble animals, as well as enjoy a short walk to feel the power of riding.
"Manifest Bazaar" presented over 80 small producers of various unique and traditional handicrafts, jewelry, cosmetics, essential oils, various accessories, children's products, candles, decorations, ceramics, as well as culinary products to visitors.
Visitors to Manifest were also able to enjoy the largest display of old-timers to date, which attracted enormous attention from car enthusiasts and those who love the aesthetics of bygone times.
A voluntary blood donation campaign was also held as part of the festival. The bus of the Serbian Blood Transfusion Institute was parked at Kalemegdan on Sunday from 12:00 to 18:00, where citizens could answer the call and extend someone's life.
This year, Belgrade Manifest once again reminded of the importance of recycling and environmental protection, with an emphasis on reducing plastic waste. With the support of Ball Corporation and in cooperation with the project "Every Can Counts", recycling points were set up this time, and promoters toured the festival area with backpacks for collecting cans. Anyone who wanted to be socially responsible and recycle received a free can of a refreshing drink of their choice for every five cans collected.
