Urban Act, which begins today, is a seven-day urban festival that offers various underground groups an opportunity to introduce themselves to a wider audience. The days are split by theme and genre.
The daytime program will last from 4 to 8 p.m. Among other events, a fair for young creative people, a flea market, a graffiti workshop, and guerilla crocheting will be held at that time. Deejay, skateboard and breakdance workshops, as well as exhibitions of vintage cars, tattoo art, and the work of master barbers will also add to the urban flavor of the festival.

A symbolic entry fees for concerts
The evening portion of the festival will begin at 8 p.m. and will feature mostly concerts. Tonight, Congress Square will host Ecliptic and Kukushai. Other performers scheduled to perform from now until next Sunday include Bad Copy, Zmelkoow, Čedahuči and Severa Gjurin, Zlatko, Koala Voice, Eni od sedmih milijard, as well as Space Orchestra. The festival will conclude Sunday with Uroš Perić performing with the Bluenote Quartet & The Pearlettes.

Only symbolic entrance fees will be charged for the concerts. On some days, the action will move from Congress Square to the K4 Club, where deejays will be in charge of the fun until the early morning hours.
