The network of cultural stations, established within the ‘Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture’ project, will be the location for part of the programme of the 64th Zmaj Children Games Festival that will last from 21 until 27 June in Novi Sad and suburbs.
With this year’s slogan ‘Words are trees, turning into forest!’, Zmaj Children Games Festival, traditionally held in June, focuses on children’s creativity and creative work for children and young people, while this year, the programme will be presented in three cultural stations – Rumenka, Bukovac and Mlin.
Based on the main idea of cultural stations that the culture in Novi Sad reaches every part of the city and everyone, the Zmaj Children Games programme, which will be held in cultural stations, will include two operas for children and an educational play.

The next day, on 22 June at 5 p.m., the ‘Visoko C’ Association of Artists will perform another opera for children ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ in the Bukovac Cultural Station.
