The theme of the festival: DRAGONS
♥
Dragons – one of the oldest and most terrifying mythological creatures, breathing fire on all parts of the globe.
Did you know that according to the old Croatian folktales, some of the dragons loot and kill, but some are benevolent creatures who live in the neighbourhood and breed sheep and pigs, some are skilled masons, some are unhappy in love, some have children, fear for them as all parents do and bring them up as best they can? If you come to the old town Lukavec surrounded by wise, old oak trees, you will have the opportunity not only to meet the dragons from the Croatian legends, but together with them have lots of fun, dance, draw, look for hidden treasures protected by these dangerous flying creatures, and you may discover that they are not so wicked and evil as they initially seemed.
Discover all about dragons from Croatian folktales at LegendFest in Lukavec on 28th and 29th of May 2016.
