About Golden Festival:
What started nearly four decades ago as a modest gathering featuring traditions of the Balkans in a Manhattan loft has blossomed into a spectacular multistage event where more than 40 bands and choruses share a wide variety of music for listening, dancing, and celebration over two unforgettable nights. Golden Festival invites you to discover new sounds and new steps as you explore the rich tapestry of cultures from the Balkans and beyond. You can enjoy complimentary appetizers, browse the Charshiya Market and meet the artisans, and admire exquisite textiles as you join with people gathering across generations and cultures. It all weaves together an unforgettable experience.
Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or a newcomer eager to experience something truly special, we invite you to join us at the volunteer-driven Zlatne Uste Golden Festival. Come make the magic as a multigenerational community like no other creates moments of joy and connection that will stay with you long after the final notes fade away.
