The theme of the festival: VAMPIRES
♥
Are you terrified of vampires but still quietly hope to chance upon one? Are you prepared to be influenced by their wicked charm? If you think this is possible only in Transylvania then you are mistaken. Come to the fairy-tale like town of Pićan. Pićan provides a timeless view of Istria and it is here you will meet the first European vampire and famous Croatian – Jure Grando.
Some say Jure Grando was simply a man persecuted by the church while others say he was something entirely different. Come to Pićan and decide for yourself WHO or WHAT Jure Grando really was.
Test your courage and satisfy your curiosity at LegendFest in Pićan on the 30th and 31st of July 2016.
