The story behind it
Originating in the 1990s after Yugoslavia's breakup, Belef reflects Belgrade's post-WWII cultural revival. It is organized by the Belgrade Festival Center (CEBEF) and underscores the city's ongoing commitment to theater and arts. The festival’s name literally means 'Belgrade Summer Festival', referencing its timing during summer and Belgrade’s historic central role in Serbian culture.
