Krajina Culture & Tradition Day

Krajiški dan kulture, tradicije i običaja

Each year on International Mother Language Day, Banja Luka celebrates the folk traditions of the Krajina region with a cultural fair. Music, costume, crafts, and food gather from Krajina towns like Prijedor and Čelinac, in a celebration of the heritage and the mother tongue of this storied corner of Bosnia.

Media proof note

The Krajina Culture & Tradition Day record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.
