Weekend in Belgrade: Cultural Spectacle or Boring Routine?
Get ready, Belgraders! This weekend, the city is packed with events that will either thrill you or leave you wondering where the real fun went. From Friday to Sunday, Belgrade offers a diverse cultural program that will satisfy even the most demanding, as well as those who just want to get out of the house and see something new.
Friday: Art Everywhere Friday brings an exhibition at Medici Pro Arte, in the House of King Peter Karađorđević. You can see paintings, sculptures, and artistic graphics, with special attention to Dr. Kosta Dinić, the personal doctor and close friend of King Peter. If you love art, this is your chance to get lost in colors and shapes.
Saturday: Film Under the Stars Saturday is reserved for film lovers. The 7th French Film Festival presents the movie “Divine Sarah Bernhardt” at Gardoš at 9 PM. Just imagine – a summer night, open air, and a French film that will take you on a journey through time and emotions. Who could say no to such a night out?
Sunday: Emotional Monodrama and History Sunday offers something for those who love deep stories. The monodrama “My Father Vuk Karadžić” at the Museum of Vuk Dositej starts at noon. This performance is an emotional story from Vuk Karadžić’s perspective, enriched with documentary material, graphics, and old town music. A true cultural treat to end the weekend.
Why Does This Matter? In times when many complain there’s nothing to do, Belgrade shows it still has something to offer. But is it enough to get us out of the house? Is cultural programming really what we need, or just another boring routine?
Final Thought If you planned to stay home, think again. This weekend, Belgrade is the place where something is happening, and it’s not just anything – art, film, and history at your fingertips. And if you’ve already been to any of these events, share your impressions! Is Belgrade truly a city of culture or just another city with empty streets on weekends?
Don’t be shy – drop a comment, share a joke, or just say what you think about these events. Maybe your word will start a wave!
