Lectures by renowned ethnologist about fairies and legends of \u0160ibenik region were conducted at the City Library “Juraj \u0160i\u017egori\u0107”, \u0160ibenik. In the centre of the old town of \u0160ibenik, visitors were invited to the fun and excitement of the LegendFest by \u0160ibenik dance theatre “Shadows” and with the beautiful sounds of the folk music performed by ensemble “Yamma” from Israel.<\/p>\n

First LegendFest of the \u0160ibenik-Knin County held at Ro\u0161ki waterfall<\/strong>\u00a0in pristine nature embedded with beautiful river Krka, was organized by the Association Val kulture from Zagreb and the Public Institution “National Park Krka”.<\/p>\n

Through interactive art and music workshops, storytelling, performances, exhibitions, lectures, dance performances and concerts, we invoked the memory of some ancient times in which fairies loved to socialize with people. Today, the stories of such times are carried forward only by the local storytellers who will gladly tell us their memories of encounters with the fairies. It is precisely this narrating of \u0160ibenik legends that was recorded by Marija Krn\u010devi\u0107 Rak and her associate \u017deljko Krn\u010devi\u0107 in their ethno film, helping to save these stories from oblivion.<\/p>\n

In the fairy-tale locations of Ro\u0161ki waterfall, Ozi\u0111ana cave and old mills, visitors of LegendFest had a unique opportunity to experience the wealth of tangible and intangible cultural heritage of the \u0160ibenik-Knin County. Along the noisy murmur of the river Krka visitors could also hear the lovely sounds of bagpipes \u2013 the sound that has always been associated with fairies and the tradition which is now being carried on by musician Stjepan Ve\u010dkovi\u0107. Almost behind every tree there was a beautiful fairy and visitors could attest to what the famous Ivan Kukuljevi\u0107 wrote of them as far back as 1851.<\/p>\n

We would like to use this opportunity to thank all the artists, musicians, dancers and storytellers who entertained us with their interesting programmes that transposed us into magical Fairy world of Krka, as well as all the visitors<\/strong> who at the LegendFest could become fairies and elves themselves if they so desired.\u00a0And last but not least, many thanks to all who helped greatly in the organization and contributed to the success of the first LegendFest in \u0160ibenik-Knin County.<\/p>\n

You can get a glimpse of the festival atmosphere in the photo gallery<\/a>.\u00a0A video footage of the festival made by Croatian Radiotelevison can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
