As part of the GiftsNet project, the “Night of Fortresses” event will be held in Banja Luka on May 9, starting at 5:00 PM, offering a diverse program once again this year.
Program of this year’s “Night of Fortresses” event:
5:00 PM – Opening of the event with the workshop “Little Archaeologists” inside the Kastel Fortress (area next to the summer stage);
5:45 PM – Workshop “The Fortress Through the Centuries”;
6:15 PM – Knight Games;
7:00 PM – Musical program at the summer stage.
Throughout the event, numerous installations will be set up within the fortress grounds, giving visitors a glimpse into the past, with special appeal to the youngest visitors.
This year’s edition brings a new challenge – raising visitors’ awareness of sustainable tourism and ecological practices, encouraging active participation in environmental protection, and promoting cultural heritage as a key element of sustainable development.
Thus, the event adopts a new name, “Night of Fortresses Goes Green,” emphasizing the connection between cultural heritage and environmental responsibility.
Over the past three years, Night of Fortresses has gathered more than 50 locations across 8 countries and 40 cities, including coastal and inland fortresses, castles, museums, galleries, and fortified towns.
Through this successful project, the event has demonstrated its potential for developing sustainable cultural tourism and strengthening international cooperation.
