As summer comes to a close, Project Ilica: Q’Art will once again take over Zagreb on September 20 and 21, bringing with it a vibrant program and fresh surprises.
For years, Q’Art Ilica has been a well-known gathering place for hundreds of artists, artisans, designers, musicians, and creatives from across Croatia. Stretching along Zagreb’s iconic Ilica Street, the festival transforms this busy urban thoroughfare, usually filled with people rushing through the week, into a space of encounter, art, and community.
A major highlight this year is the introduction of PINK tickets, which also carry a strong humanitarian message: 50% of each ticket sold will be donated to the organizations Fajter (support for homeless and marginalized individuals), Kolibrići (help for children with severe diagnoses and their families), and Merida (animal welfare and protection). By purchasing a PINK ticket, visitors not only support the artists, organizers, and the festival community but also contribute to those fighting daily for a more dignified life.
On Saturday evening, September 20, the stage will host Bandonegro, an internationally acclaimed music group celebrated for their energetic fusion of tango and jazz. Their performances are known for virtuosity, emotional depth, and a unique bond with the audience.
The evening will open with Tango Eterno, a dynamic soul-crossover ensemble that blends genres into rhythms that resonate deeply with the heart.
Adding an extra layer of magic to the night will be outstanding dancers: Sara & Ivan, Ana Kolega, and Kristina McFadden.
PINK tickets can be found here, while tickets for the Bandonegro concert are available here. More information about the festival is available on the official website.
