One of Serbia’s oldest rock music festivals, held annually since 1966 in Zaječar. It is a three-day event featuring emerging and known rock bands and soloists. The festival is a cornerstone of local youth culture and music history, with international headliners (e.g., Whitesnake Experience in 2025) and competitive shows 1.
Gitarijada is intertwined with Zaječar’s identity as the "Serbian Rock City." It began as a youth-organized music contest and grew into a large rock festival. It reflects the local passion for rock music and has launched many musicians’ careers.
