As International Family Day on May 15 approaches, family festivals become the center of attention for those who wish to spend time with their loved ones and enjoy art and culture. These events offer experiences and the opportunity to have a great time together with family.

The festivals feature various forms of art such as theater, dance, music, and literature, allowing tourists to immerse themselves in local culture and traditions. Designed for different age groups, from young children to adults, these events offer something interesting for everyone in the family.

Many festivals also include workshops on various forms of art, allowing tourists to participate in practical activities and learn something new.

The International Puppet Festival "Golden Sparkle" will take place in Kragujevac, Serbia, from May 13 to 19, 2024.
