XVI Burnum Ides
This year's Burnum Ides, in its sixteenth edition, offers a rich program that evokes the spirit of Roman times, of legions and gladiators. The event will take place on Monday, August 12, in the only preserved Roman military amphitheater in Croatia.
The program starts at 8:00 p.m., with the fair where visitors will be able to participate in numerous educational and entertainment workshops – pottery workshops, puppetry, jewelry and wreath making, juggling – along with depictions of the lifestyle of Roman soldiers and gladiators. Children will especially enjoy the puppet show that depicts the life of the beautiful Antonia and her relationship with the powerful emperor Vespasian. Students from the drama group of the Lovre Montija High School from Knin, together with teachers of Croatian and Latin, will also be guests, and will present the mythological story of Apollo and Daphne.
A special program, in the spirit of the Olympic Games in Paris, will begin at 9 pm in the Burnum amphitheater. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet emperors such as Vespasian, Domitian, Augustus, Nero, Caligula, and Constantine the Great. There will also be Barbarians and Celts, who will exhibit their skills in sports, as a means to gain Roman citizenship.
The evening will end with a concert by the Dancing Queen ABBA Real Tribute Band, which will evoke the atmosphere of the concerts of the legendary Swedish pop group ABBA with its original performances, costumes, and choreography. Hits like "Waterloo", "Chiquitita", "Dancing Queen", "Mamma Mia", "SOS", and many others will make visitors of all generations want to dance.
Entry to the event is free, and parking will be free from 8 p.m.
