Fodor's Expert Review Špancirfest
Varaždin
Festivals
For 10 days, usually in late August, Špancirfest occupies various squares in the town center, featuring a colorful array of free open-air theatrical and acrobatic performances, live music from classical to rock, traditional and modern dance, arts-and-crafts exhibits, and more. Špancir is a local expression referring to a leisurely enjoyable stroll, so the event may be translated in tourist brochures as Street Walkers' Festival.
