This year the whole world celebrates the end of the World War I. As in any conflict, one ultimately outcome as a victor and the other as a defeated. We belong to those who came out from the Great War as victors, although with the most casualties per capita, but that will not be (the only) victory that 15th Museum Night will celebrate.
This year’s event aims to mark some personal, intimate and human triumphs over selfs in life, art, culture and science; in everything that makes the world around us more gratified, significant and valuable. The 15th Museum Night will be inspired by our precious heritage, not meaning the respect for tradition, but also for the innovation.
Following Museum Night will enable self-reflection of small and great victories in life, emphasizing progressive ideas, giving a chance to inspiring people and fascinating events that marks our history. Once again, we hope to demonstrate that culture can prevail, bringing cultural institutions and general public closer together and introducing attractive and popular, yet high-quality and expert-curated programs.

International Labor day is officially approaching, and once again we wonder what is left of the original meaning of this date.
In countries where Labor is celebrated, most citizens are not dealing with their labor rights on this day. The law allows them to enjoy their days off (payed), which they usually use to rest.
When you search for Labor day in the International Register of National Holidays, the column „Marking Mode“ says – „Street Demonstrations“. At different times during the previous century, circumstances made the workers quit their demonstrations.
The Haymarket Affair in Chicago
Labor day is marked as a remembrance of the 1886 street protests during which unions across the United States went on strike, demanding, above all, an eight hour workday. A clash broke out on the 4th of May in Chicago’s Hymarket Square, killing at least eight people (the exact number was never determined) and more than one hundred were injured. Controversial interpretations of events, trials, and the death penalty ensued.
At the First Congress in 1889, it was decided to hold a major event the following year in the memory of the Haymarket affair in Chicago. This was a form of labor rights struggle and it was decided to hold mass manifestations, demonstrations and strikes around the world, as one of the modes of class struggle, which gained mass proportions by the end of the 19th and early 20th century.

Subotica has been celebrating Labor Day for 128 years
Four years later, 14 workers from Subotica decided to mark this holiday as well as those demonstrators in Chicago,in 1890. They walked towards Palic and were stopped and arrested by the police in Radanovac. This year was taken as the first year commemoration of Labour day in Subotica. Since then, Labor day has been celebrated in Subotica every year, people have used their free time and spent it outdoors. It was celebrated the least on Palic, only after the recovery of the lake. It was celebrated at the Dudova suma city park, the surrounding city forests, at the Tisa river, as well as the Danube river, but also at the city stadium’s auxiliary playgrounds.
93 years later, in 1983, the city decided that the central celebration should be held on Palic, since the lake has been rehabilitated, and in the middle of the tourist season. At that time, a project was organized, and a staff was founded to organize the entire event. Staff members were appointed by the city and were representatives of utility companies,union workers,party members etc.

The headquarters organized a Labor Day celebration until 1991, when the entire organization of the event was given to the Palic Ludas Ltd company. Since 2010, the organization has been taken over by the newly established Park Palic Ltd. company.
Bogojvar Castle for Labor Day
From the time when the central celebration of Labour day was shifted to Palic, the number of visitors and participants of this event increased every year. It was noted that the highest number of visitors was in 1988 and 1997, when in 2 days there were over 100,000 people visiting Palic.

The race was held on Sunday, December 10, in front of the Grand Terrace in Palic. As in the previous years, the competitors had to walk the track, about 1600 meters long, at least once.

As modest reword, children were given Santa Claus shaped chocolate. The very next year, there was 50 participants. From year to year the number of racers grew, and over 500 competitors ran the jubilee 10th race. As the number of competitors grew, the length of the route that the racers had to cross increased. The former 300 meter long course along the lake is now expanded and rounded up, so while passing through the foreseen path, you can truly enjoy the beauty of Palić.
