"BEERKA" BRINGS TOP BEER ENERGY BACK TO EAST SARAJEVO FOR THE FOURTH TIME

One of the most recognizable summer events in East Sarajevo, the Beerka Festival, is returning for its fourth edition, bringing together top-quality music, premium and craft beer, and a unique festival atmosphere from June 12 to 14 under the slogan “Beerka strikes again.”

Over the course of three days, visitors will enjoy performances from eight bands and a DJ program, featuring well-known regional acts such as Velahavle, Skroz, Bombaj Štampa, Zoster, Top 011, Bad Copy, Garavi Sokak, and a tribute band dedicated to Zdravko Čolić, promising the high energy and vibrant atmosphere Beerka has become known for.

The Beerka Festival has established itself as the largest naturally beer-focused festival in Bosnia and Herzegovina, gathering beer and music enthusiasts in a distinctive setting.

“Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy more than 40 premium and craft beer labels, as well as a diverse gastronomic offering, which includes an educational segment for young chefs. In addition to the music and food program, the festival maintains a strong focus on social responsibility and ESG values through various activities promoting community, sustainability, and environmental awareness,” the organizers stated.
