Month: September 2019

On Saturday, September 28, a concert by the legendary Belgrade rock band Bajaga and the Instructors was held at the Summer Stage in Palić. This spectacular concert was the crowning event of a more than successful cultural and entertainment program that took place this year at the Summer Stage in Palić.

A full audience at the Summer Stage welcomed the first chords of Bajaga and the Instructors’ opening song on their feet, sang along with Bajaga to the band’s greatest hits throughout the entire concert, and only after several encore performances “allowed” the musicians to take a well-deserved rest.

Many in the audience, listening to songs such as Train, Good Morning, Jazz Lovers, Silence, Berlin and many others, reminisced about their youth, while younger generations were also present among the visitors, to whom Bajaga’s songs have likewise grown close to the heart.

This time, the weather conditions were favorable for the organizers, as the rain bypassed the Summer Stage during the concert.

The Wine Marathon at Palić is the most fun wine-and-sport event in the region, as experienced by over 1,000 runners who, on Saturday, September 21, took part in the half-marathon Wine Race and the ten-kilometer Enjoyment Run. Competitors from 16 countries ran through the vineyards and refreshed themselves with wine from the best Palić wineries.

At this year’s event, runners from multiple continents participated, coming to Serbia for the Wine Marathon. They came from Japan, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, the USA, Brazil, Russia, the United Kingdom, Finland, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Poland, while traditionally, besides Serbia, the largest number of runners came from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Hungary.

The winner of the half-marathon Wine Race was Miklós Bruner from the Hajduk MT Kula club and in the women’s category, Ines Jozić from Croatia.

The winners of the Enjoyment Run were Katarina Stojković from the MTS Serbia team and József Nyári from Hungary.

In addition to being fast and physically prepared for the race, many participants also put effort into having very creative costumes, making the competition fierce. Still, the award for the best individual costume went to the marathon’s most popular ‘water polo player,’ Mr. Aleksandar Ormoš from Zrenjanin, while the award for the best group costume went to a group of 25 participants from Belgrade who dressed up as ‘zombies.’

After the race, all participants and visitors continued at the Great Terrace with wine tastings and local gastronomic specialties, while the Subotica band Selected provided excellent entertainment. Many participants took part in engaging wine workshops, sailed on the Wine Boat, went on wine picnics, and a fun barrel-rolling competition was also organized, accompanied by lots of cheering and laughter.

Participants of this year’s Wine Marathon joined a fundraising campaign for the construction of a parent house in Belgrade for children with cancer by downloading the ‘Take a Step’ app, which recorded the kilometers completed during the marathon. These kilometers are monetized by Serbian companies and donated to the National Association of Parents of Children with Cancer.

The Wine Marathon is a unique event that combines sport, wine, gastronomy, and music in a fun way, providing enjoyment for all the senses, as best evidenced by the photographs, which also serve as the best invitation for next year.

are at Palić over the weekend 14. On September 15, the 30th Jubilee Grape Harvest Days were held at Palić. Park Palić Ltd., together with its collaborators and co-organizers, designed a rich and engaging program that was equally interesting for all age groups. At this 30th jubilee celebration of the Grape Harvest Days, record attendance was recorded from residents of Subotica and Palić, as well as tourists from other cities and countries. This was certainly aided by excellent organization, reflected in a diverse and colorful selection of the largest number of exhibitors ever at the Grape Harvest Days, a rich gastronomic offer, a cultural and artistic program, and, of course, beautiful sunny weather.”

During the two-day Grape Harvest celebrations, we could walk through the ‘street’ of wine, honey, sweets, brandy, and cheeses, enjoy a beautiful exhibition of flowers and handicrafts, and sample various culinary specialties.

The program for the youngest visitors was especially fun and well-attended, featuring performances by dance schools from Subotica, a children’s theater play ‘What Does the Egg Give,’ a children’s workshop ‘Little Genius,’ face painting, as well as the clown balloon artist performance.

Tamburitza orchestras ‘Dream’ and ‘Memory’ entertained visitors during the two-day Grape Harvest celebrations with their melodies, while the concerts of Sergej Ćetković and Aleksandra Radović at the Summer Stage in Palić added a special charm to the event.

A special hallmark of the Grape Harvest Days is the humanitarian character of the event. Namely, the fruits and vegetables provided by local producers to Park Palić Ltd. for the exhibition were, after the event, donated to the Kolevka institution, in agreement with the producers.

The Rotary Club Subotica also directed the proceeds from the sale of barbecue products to charitable purposes.

On Sunday, after being postponed due to weather conditions, Aleksandra Radović’s concert was held at the Summer Stage in Palić.

The audience sang along with Aleksandra to well-known hits such as ‘I’m Protecting you,’ ‘Like Salt in the Sea,’ ‘Ex-Love,’ ‘Endlessly,’ and many others.

After the concert, which lasted just under two hours, everyone went home with an eruption of positive emotions and with the hope that Aleksandra Radović will return to the Summer Stage again with new songs as well as her classic hits.

Last night, on September 2, at the Summer Stage in Palić, the audience had the opportunity to enjoy Jelena Tomašević’s first solo concert in Palić, organized by Park Palić.

With her remarkable energy and beautiful songs, the singer won over the audience, who enthusiastically enjoyed the entire concert.

Performing her greatest hits, covers and the songs that made her famous and sharing the stories behind some of them, the singer connected even more closely with the audience, leaving no one indifferent.

Jelena Tomašević did not hide her admiration for Palić. As she said, the sunset here is especially magical for her—she watched it with full attention and captured it in a photograph.
