Dear brothers and sisters,
dear children and parents,
dear friends and followers of Knight Fest,
dear admirers of the heritage of our knightly ancestors,
our dear ones!
We would like to inform you of the following:
Knight Fest 2022 at Belgrade Fortress, which is planned for 16 and 17 April, during Christian holidays Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday, is not able to be held, due to the unfavourable political atmosphere.
But let’s rejoice, because Knight Fest 2022 will still present selected programmes of its own sectors “Academy” and “Film Knight Fest” within the traditional “KNIGHTHOOD WEEK”, with top lecturers, artists and films (attached programme) on knightly culture of Serbia and the world.
We warmly greet and hug our youngest guests and participants, and remind them that Love transcends everything, and also to be a little more patient, so that we can all meet again and gather around holy Serbia of Despot Stefan Lazarević, his princesses, princes, emperors and knights.
Knight Fest is spreading to other countries at the invitation of those who love and appreciate the culture of our knightly ancestors, and invites all their followers to be what they are!
Welcome to Knight Fest!
