Ljeto na Sani is an annual summer festival in Sanski Most, celebrated from mid-July to early August with cultural, entertainment, and sports events. It includes traditional concerts, dance performances, exhibitions, and the unique Skokovi sa Mosta (bridge jumps) into the Sana River. The festival honors the historic first mention of Sanski Most and attracts many locals and diaspora returning in the summer 1 2. Visitors experience community concerts, folklore nights, and children’s programs like the Sladoledijada (ice cream festival).
The festival was launched in 1997 as a community effort to celebrate local heritage and engage citizens throughout the Una-Sana Canton. It has since become a major annual event marking Sanski Most's founding through its medieval historical documents 1 2. The festival setting on the Sana River connects modern festivities with the town’s natural landscape and Krajina region culture.
