Chivalry calls for Knights in Sibenik

Besides the international manifestation for children, Sibenik is well-known for another manifestation of international character – Sibenik International Medieval Fair. The City of Sibenik every year celebrates its patron saint St Michael at the end of September and then brings back the spirit of the past and the life of medieval times.

During the days of the fair people walk down the streets dressed in traditional costumes. Jugglers, clowns, fanfares, archers, knights, fiddlers, organists, dominate the streets of the city, while craftsmen demonstrate the traditional manner of processing wood, metal, wattle and stone.
