Spring in Zenica and Tešanj and Visoko Summer Festival
The ideal time to visit the museums and tourist destinations of the Zenica-Doboj Canton, as well as the city of Zenica is definitely springtime. At this time of the year Zenica celebrates its centuries-old traditional folk festival along the Bosna River, the unique Festival of Scrambled Eggs (Čimburijada). This also marks the beginning of a traditional international cultural event known as Zenica Spring Festival, which includes a number of cultural events, exhibitions and concerts, some of which are open-air events, whereas others are held in the atriums of Zenica museums and Vranduk Fortress. Zenica Spring Festival starts on March 21 and ends on April 12.
In the town of Tešanj, located some seventy kilometers to the north, the spring months are also characterized by cultural events; Tešanj Museum and Gradina play an important role in the conceptually well-rounded cultural offer. New museum displays are open to visitors, and museums also become venues for literary evenings, interesting thematic exhibitions and concerts of young regional musicians.
During the hot July days, the town of Visoko turns into a specific open-air museum, offering visitors an authentic picture of a Bosnian trade and crafts marketplace - čaršija. Visoko Summer Festival is an event that steps out of the framework of cultural elitism and the townspeople have grown accustomed to it; for them it is an unavoidable event that has become a trademark and brand of the local social life. The Regional Museum of Visoko plays an important role in the Visoko Summer Festival with its exhibits of recently discovered and collected artifacts.
