For the past few decades, the City Days have become an indispensable part of the city’s spring offering. The manifold programme was held at many different venues, interconnecting the city’s most renowned and outlandish venues while offering countless smaller formats at various places.
Experiencing sports, music and gastronomy
Music was on the agenda of this year’s City Days. Attendees could bob their heads to the beats of nostalgic noisy tones of swing, foxtrot or Slovak tango from the 30s and 40s, mixed by the DJ duo Gramophone Brothers. Younger generations could also listen to the up-and-coming Bratislava singer Tamara Karamar, who closed the cultural program of the city festival on the Main Square.
Historical and CSR initiatives
To honour Bratislava’s medieval tradition, the organisers also orchestrated the traditional opening of the city gates that recalls the coronation tradition of Bratislava and symbolises the openness of the city and the secrets hidden in the stories of its more than 700-year past. The opening marked the start of the event.
Raising awareness about the visually impaired was one of the event’s goals. With the help of guide dogs, visitors could learn how they help visually impaired individuals get off and on a tram, how they can find monuments in Bratislava using a touch map and how guidelines on the pavement help their orientation.
Within the framework of the Bratislava City Days, there was a rich cultural program in various places to connect the city as a whole and, at the same time, offer smaller formats across various locations and city districts of Bratislava.
