The continuation of Tales from Trenčín will bring visitors the story of Klara the Beauty Rider. On Friday 28 June and Saturday 29 June 2024, starting at 21:15, the story will take the audience back to 1813, when the town on the banks of the Váh River was hit by a great flood. Around 30 performers will tell the story of Clara the beauty queen and Michael the tailor through acrobatic art, music and visual effects. The performance will be situated along the Váh River (beginning at the athletics track). We will be able to watch it from the dam, moving along with the action in the direction of the old road bridge. The author of the literary model and the director of the event is Vlado Kulíšek. The animated projections within the event were created by TRAKT in cooperation with the young animator Emá Balážová.

The Kremnica Acropolis and Stefanik Square witnessed a unique event that brought the community together and celebrated the rich history of this beautiful city. An early evening parade started in front of the Acropolis, heading towards the town hall, and brought a wonderful experience full of light, colour and joy.
