The theme of the festival: FAIRIES AND FAIRY CREATURES
♥
How do fairies look like? What can make them angry? What happens when they lose a strand of hair? Who are the elves and the pixies? Why do fairies have animal legs according to the old Croatian folktales from Inner Dalmatia?
If you cannot resist the intoxicating call of fairies and their seductive dance, come to the Krka and dance with them at the magic Roški waterfall. But be careful, you might be taken by the fairies into their magical kingdom and never return to this world. If you want just that, you are in the right place!
Meet and socialize with fairies, elves and pixies as well as other mythical creatures from the Šibenik-Knin County folktales at the first LegendFest in Krka on the 9th and 10th of July 2016.
