Trumpet Festival in August – Date Set for Jubilee Event in Dragacevo

It is becoming increasingly likely that the world’s biggest trumpet festival – the Guca Trumpet Festival – will be held this year.

The organizers have already set the date – August 12-15 – when, if the epidemiological situation allows for it, the trumpets of the best trumpet ensembles from Serbia should sound out, for the 60th time. If, however, the coronavirus situation remains unfavorable, the event will be held online.

In Dragacevo, they announce that the full program of the festival is prepared and that they hope that it will be fully realized this summer.

– Traditionally, the first day is reserved for a contest of young brass ensembles from Serbia, Friday is reserved for concerts, the midnight concert and the parade of the participants. Saturday is the most eventful day, including a Dragacevo wedding and the final contest of brass ensembles as the central program, which is the reasons we are all gathering in Guca – said Marijana Lukovic, the organizer for development and promotion of the tourist offer, adding that the biggest cultural experts in Serbia are involved in the organization of the jubilee Festival, which means that the event will feature additional authentic cultural content, in an attempt to bring the Festival back to what it once was – “a cultural meeting point in Serbia”.

The Violin Festival in Pranjani is to follow the next weekend (August 20-22).
