All visitors will find something for themselves at the festival which will feature classic car and motorcycle exhibits, fashion shows of Croatian designers, whose creations will reflect the period fashion, sales of vinyl records and original vintage furniture. Visitors will have the opportunity to partake in dance workshops, make-up and hair-styling courses, or just dance to the sounds of the best retro bands and DJs.

That, however, is not all, because the festival will also offer many other interesting things. Male visitors will have the opportunity to use the services of a retro barber shop. Such shops were once very popular throughout Zagreb, but sadly they are nowadays almost forgotten. Apart from that, there will be a hula-hoop contest for visitors to partake in, as well as the opportunity to have one’s picture taken at a photo-booth or have a bite to eat at the gastro corner.

The Vintage Zagreb Festival is backed by the Zagreb Tourist Board, so make sure to visit and enjoy, because you will discover that the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s were special in many ways indeed. 

Given the unfavourable weather forecast, the beginning of Vintage Zagreb festival has been postponed for Monday 7 September 2015.
