If you are thinking about where to spend at least one of the four evenings this week, the choice can be the old place of good time - "Donji Kalis" (Lower Kalemegdan), which is still remembered as a place of creating good memories, those that are talked about for years.


On Thursday, 22nd August from 17:00, the gates of the festival will be officially opened, and most importantly, the entry is free for all visitors! The main entrance to the festival will be located opposite the Nebojsa Tower, i.e. at the Charles VI Gate in the Lower Town of Kalemegdan, and the festival is open until 02:00 after midnight. The organizers announce a great time during all four festival days and appeal to visitors to come by public transport or taxi so that they can responsibly enjoy all the contents that "Gradski" has to offer.


Everyone who decides to visit "Gradski" will be able to enjoy a selection of great representatives of the domestic street food scene who will prepare specialties from numerous world cuisines on the spot, but also in a special zone with over 50 kinds of beer and an excellent music program that will add extra spice to the atmosphere.

Those who want to visit the festival with "prior knowledge" and a good plan that includes developing a strategy under the working title: "How should I try everything and why?!" will be interested in who appears on "Gradski" and with what specialties:


"Gradski has gathered a team of exhibitors who will justify all expectations, so the following names are with us this time: Fat Bear, Sushi Factory, Burger House, Billy's, Knedly, Cheese Melt Express, Bad Guys, Jamaican Getleman, Yalla Yalla, Kroogle, Kabinet Lab Kobaje, Del Toros, Republika pub and Pit Stop. From melted raclette cheese, to chicago style pizza, great smash and classic burgers, home-made sausages, fried pancakes, round croissants, Belgrade dumplings to specialties of Arabic and Jamaican cuisine, as well as sushi rolls... everything will be possible to be tasted at Gradski" - says Ljiljana Vukotic, one of the organizers of the festival.

What is particularly interesting and what makes "Gradski" different from standard Street Food festivals is the zone with selected craft beers, among which are: Kabinet, Dogma, Gvint, Hog, Soul City, Tron, Pivokratija, Kruger & Brent and Dilema. In addition to the zone with craft beers, the festival will also present selected labels of industrial and imported beers, which will justify the title the best on the market with their quality.


For the premiere edition of the festival, "Gradski" has prepared a selection of amazing bands for visitors that promise a great concert and an unforgettable time, which will be provided by bands such as: Jackie Brown, Party Animals, Milan Petrovic Quartet, Recover Band and many others. There is also the support of DJs from the city's club scene that will further warm the atmosphere with their musical selection, and some of them are: Deaf in mini, DJ Slipi, DJ Lapac, Dj L@pi Bane and others.

In cooperation with the company Ball Corporation and the project "Every can counts", we take care that our city remains, in the spirit of its name, the way it deserves to be - clean and white! That is why boxes for disposing of used aluminum packaging will be placed at several different points at the festival, and promoters will walk around with special backpacks in which visitors can dispose of used cans.


Also, Pixelata - an art installation made of cans that will be painted by artists will be installed on the festival grounds, and with which we want to inspire those present to recycle used aluminum cans in order to protect the environment, because environmental awareness, art and good fun is the "Gradski" (City) spirit!

See you at Donji Kalis (Lower Kalemegdan) from 22nd to 25th August from 17:00 to 02:00. Entry is free for all visitors.
