St John’s Eve Bonfires is the oldest event in Karlovac, with which Karlovac welcomes the summer in a pleasant and cheerful mood. It is an important tradition for our city, a warm story about the rivalry that actually connects us all and that we look forward to every year. And this year on the July 23 a sports, entertainment and educational program awaits us on the banks of the Kupa River.
