Renaissance Festival August 2022.

Historical mega spectacle Renaissance Festival kerning late medieval historical facts and originality of Koprivnica, Drava and the Croatian cultural heritage values of the Western European civilization circle (which is a part of Croatia), which is manifested through numerous upcoming knight, crafts and musical groups from nearly ten European countries. Event is a true example of the development of the European identity of the city and region.

Koprivnica fortress walls, the remnants of what used to be a magnificent, renaissance anti Turkish fortress, represent a silent witness of a time long past. Are they hiding an interesting secret or a story about a broken love or perhaps about the courage of their protectors and can they give us a picture of how the residents of feudal Koprivnica used to create, make war, celebrate or carry on trade? This will be demonstrated by the Renaissance festival.

This tourist-historical and educational event is the greatest spectacle of live images from the past in this part of Europe, based on historical facts.
