The central event of the manifestation will be the Vidovdan Assembly, scheduled for June 27 and 28, featuring a major concert and cultural spectacle. Organizers emphasize that special attention will be given to humanitarian work, the promotion of Bileća, and the preservation of tradition through international festivals and cooperation with cultural institutions.

The entire manifestation will be held under the slogan: “A summer you don’t just watch – you experience.”
