Sounds of the Trumpet from TimokЗвуци трубе са Тимока

A lively annual brass music event in Knjaževac celebrating Serbia’s brass-trumpet tradition. Local and regional trumpet orchestras perform folk and pop sets on the town square, alongside exhibitions (e.g. vintage cars). The festival was initiated by the local Tourist Organization to preserve Knjaževac’s trumpet-garden culture 1 2.

Knjaževac has a long history of trumpet orchestras in traditional celebrations. This event highlights that heritage, aligning with a Serbian saying that the trumpet plays at weddings and was in wars. It reinforces local pride in this musical tradition 1 2.
