Eternal fashion show at the old Freedom square
And the heart flutters for a moment
A dancing coat
No, it’s not hers
Đorđe Balašević would sing at a winter concert if he were with us today.
The Freedom square in his song is not the one in Tuzla, but in Novi Sad, but who knows, maybe he was thinking about the one in Tuzla when he sang this great song in 2017 at the stadium Tušanj.
Enjoyment for All Ages
Trg slobode (Freedom Square) in Tuzla will be the stage for wonderful events for 31 days (from 9 December 2022 to 8 January 2023) with as many as 17 nights of live music as part of the “Zima u Tuzli” (Winter in Tuzla) event. Who knows, maybe our hearts will flutter, maybe some new loves will be born, and old ones will be revived, in the festive atmosphere of the City of Salt.
The Tuzla Tourist Board, the City of Tuzla and the Tuzla Craftsmen’s Association provided craftsmen and entrepreneurs from Tuzla area with the use of 20 mobile homes and a program that everyone – from the age of 7 to 77 – will enjoy during the eventAt the opening of the event on 9 December the wonderful Ilma Karahmet will spread the fairy dust of her wonderful voice over the city, and the very next day the residents of Tuzla will have their pulses pounding with Marry Jane’s Little Drum band.
