Apart from clubs, we have discovered other interesting events the whole family can enjoy. Learn more about our country, our city…
Witches Groove (Coprnjački čageraj)
Place: Pučko Otvoreno Učilište, Vukovarska Street 68; Time- October 31, 7 PM till November 1.
Scientists say that in the night from October 31 to November 1 a huge asteroid will pass Earth and that we are very lucky that it won’t „touch“ us. Just in case, we decided to summon you, witches and warlocks, a day earlier, to defend us from the asteroid crash on Friday… Dancing. So, all of you, creatures of the night and magic, bring your good luck talismans, a few legends, a little bit of mystic atmosphere, shake it as well, take someone with you, and voila! That’s best recipe for a wonderful evening!
