ZAGREB, April 29, 2019 – This year’s VukovArt-Luka street festival will be held from June 1 to 15 under the auspices of President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, and during the event five murals will be painted on an area of 700 square metres.
The event will also include, for the first time, a semi-marathon, with 600 competitors having already registered to participate in the run.
A press conference held earlier this week heard that this year’s festival theme is “Give me 5!”, representing the five murals to be painted on apartment blocks.
Speaking on behalf of the organisers, Krešimir Herceg said that they wanted the festival to move away from war topics.
The organiser of the first Vukovar semi-marathon, Tomislav Marinović, said that the 21-kilometre run will go along a route including locations with the new murals, while citizens would have the opportunity to run a 5-kilometre route.
Vukovar Deputy Mayor Marijan Pavliček announced that the city was supporting the project with 450,000 kuna.
