The story behind it
The festival was launched in 1997 as a community effort to celebrate local heritage and engage citizens throughout the Una-Sana Canton. It has since become a major annual event marking Sanski Most's founding through its medieval historical documents. The festival setting on the Sana River connects modern festivities with the town’s natural landscape and Krajina region culture.
