VILA / 3 JUNE – 5 JUNE

Three municipalities on Fruška Gora (Sremski Karlovci, Irig and Beočin) are also included in the programmes of the European Capital of Culture, with the aim of creating sustainable cultural platforms. The first of these platforms was created in honour of the Serbian poet Milica Stojadinović (1828 – 1878), who, from a small place on the edge of Europe, dreamed great European and world dreams, corresponded with German and Serbian colleagues, translated, played guitar, was one of the first war reporters, sang heroic songs and thus became the protagonist of an alternative romanticism, which is not predominantly male. In honour of this heroine, we wish to gather a large number of visitors in Vrdnik, which is now part of the municipality of Irig, as part of an artistic fairy tale for the whole family called ‘Vila’.
