Project Description

Organised around the International Danube Day (29th June), the Blue Week Festival traditionally takes place in three countries (Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria) aiming at raising awareness of the Danube, its preservation and the sustainable development of its potential for tourism.

The Festival promotes the tourism potential of cycling, kayaking and vineyards along the Danube. To date, the Festival has attracted thousands of participants, offering them cycle competitions, free kayak tours, wine tastings, concerts, art exhibitions and workshops.
