Špancirfest is a festival of the city. It is a whirlpool of music, dance and laughter, endless walk whose goal is the mere walking, meeting the forgotten, and people completely devoted to their city while the city is completely devoted to them. During Špancirfest, to welcome you, there will be 160 top programmes, 100 performers from around the world, presentations of old crafts, world music, street performances, comedies, children’s shows, ethno, rock and classical music, 5 stages, streets and squares of Varaždin old city core... Every year, the Špancirfest is again and again the beginning of a discovery, always a unique experience. Which story the city is about to tell us is unknown, and so is the rhythm of lights, sounds and scents. It seems there is nothing else left but to be in Varaždin and become a part of the Špancirfest.
