Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
This festival was created by cultural associations to save old epic and church songs sung by local families. It highlights the unique musical dialect of northern Kosovo and Metohija, reinforcing connections to historic monasteries and saints (e.g. Gračanica Monastery’s 700-year jubilee in 2022).
