The city of Banja Luka is getting ready for another unforgettable New Year’s Eve! Regional stars such as Senidah, Đorđe David and Ivana Peters will perform at Trg Krajine and other locations in the city. The party starts on December 31st and runs until January 1st.

Innovative Celebration Concepts
This year we also have a novelty, so for the first day of the New Year, Banjaluka brings a completely new concept – three stages in three different locations. A stage for DJs will be set up on Trg Krajine and around Petar Kočić Park, who will entertain young people. In the area around the Temple of Christ the Savior and the City Administration, we will enjoy the performances of tambourines and old town music. The third stage, near the House of Milanović and the National Theater, will host the groups “One Tri” and “Rock Symphony”.
Additional Attractions
In addition to the music program, Banjaluka can boast of another rich offer for all visitors – “Zimzobal” in Park “Mladen Stojanović”, “Zimzopark”, New Year’s light decorations, entertainment and a rich gastronomic offer. The city is decorated idyllically, and special attention will be drawn to the illuminated parks, such as King Tvrtko I and Kastel.
