KWAKU FESTIVAL The Kwaku Festival is a traditional multicultural gathering that brings together people and cultures in a vibrant combination of food, drink, dance and sport. The festival traditionally attracts around 300,000 visitors over the course of its four weekends, making it one of the biggest events on the Amsterdamcalendar. The larger stages are at the centre of the action each weekend, providing a fun selection of DJs, livemusic and dance workshops. One of the event’s most attractive draws is its collection of street food vendors, with some of the specialities only available at this annual event! SINJSKAALKA FOR THE 306TH TIME A very famous and historic equestrian competition is held in the Croatian town of Sinj, near Split, on the first weekend of August every year. Now in its 306th year (no, that’s not a typo – it’s really that old!) the Sinjska Alka sees mounted competitors armed with lances and aiming to hit the inside of ametal ring (the alka). Different points are awarded depending on which part of the ring has been hit. The Sinjska Alka, which was added to the UNESCO IntangibleWorld Heritage List in 2010, is such a unique event that it’s well worth attending if you happen to be in the region in early August. Razglednica/Postcard BEČ VIENNA Spomen-ploča Mini Karadžić U Beču je u Rasumowskygasse 22, u trećoj bečkoj opštini, otkrivena spomen-ploča Vilhelmini Mini Karadžić, znamenitoj slikarki i književnici, ćerki reformatora srpskog jezika Vuka Karadžića. Znamenita slikarka i književnica odrastala je u kući u koju su dolazili Đura Daničić, prota Mateja Nenadović, Njegoš, knez Mihailo Obrenović... Bila je jedna od tri slikarke (pored Katarine Ivanović i Poleksije Todorović) koje su radile u Srbiji u 19. veku, a zaslužna je i na polju prevođenja srpskih narodnih pesama..

Sada u svojoj 306. godini (nije greška u kucanju - zaista je toliko stara!) Sinjska Alka dočekuje takmičare na konjima naoružane kopljem, sa jednimciljem da pogode unutrašnjost metalnog prstena (alka). Poeni se dodeljuju prema tome koji je deo prstena pogođen.
