The first street food festival in Dubrovnik “Bavarin” opened last night in the historical setting of Lazareti.

A concert from Croatian rock band Psihomodo Pop, led by frontman Davor Gopec, officially opened the Bavarin street food festival as part of the Good Food Festival, the popular gastronomic event in Dubrovnik, which celebrates its ninth edition this year.

On Friday, October 14, Vinko Čemeraš & Talvi Tuuli will entertain the crowd. On Saturday, October 15 a pub quiz will take place, as well as a concert from Gina Damjanović & The Gee Gee’s.

Visitors will be also able to enjoy various workshops, a chill zone, as well as an excellent gastronomic offer every day until Sunda when Bavarin ends with the beats of Split’s TBF. Doris Pinčić and Ivan Pažanin will remind all visitors of the charm and tradition of Sunday lunch at noon on Sunday.

Bavarin also has a humanitarian touch. The Marin Čilić Foundation, as a humanitarian partner of Bavarin, is currently looking for the fifth generation of scholarship holders, and all visitors will be able to find tennis balls with the signature of the famous Croatian tennis player in the Lazareti.
