Belgrade Boat Carnival

The 9th Belgrade Boat Carnival is taking place on July 7th, under the slogan “Love on the rivers”.

Visitors of this unique manifestation will have opportunity to see a parade of decorated vessels that will sail from different Belgrade marinas, acrobatics on water and lots of fun on the beach.

The traditional Belgrade Boat Carnival promotes the nautical tourism in the capital, greets the tourists who visit our city by boat and dedicates this carnival to the Sava and the Danube, and their confluence, the symbol of our city.

Another slogan of the carnival is “At the happy buoy” and it is dedicated to the buoy set at the very confluence of the Sava into the Danube.

Here dozens of European rivers join the Sava and flow into the Danube.

Free cruises on boats “Kornjača” (Turtle), “Beograd 25. Maj” (Belgrade May 25th) and “Hrabro srce” (Brave heart) will be organized for all visitors from 5 to 8 pm. This is the unique opportunity for visitors to participate in the carnival, alongside the carnival boats.

Tour departures are organized every half an hour at the Beton Hala Waterfront Center.

Visitors will have the opportunity to charge their mobile phones only by using solar energy – on the “Strawberry tree”, and they will learn about recycling and the importance of protecting the environment.

The program includes several concerts, lottery and you can even send your message into the sky in a helium balloon. The Carnival will also be promoting the project Belgrade 2020 – City nominee for European Capital of Culture.
