We have already started with some occasional concerts, the priganica fest at Virpazar continued with the concert of the KIC pop choir in Sutomore. We continue with numerous activities that will be for both older and younger — with aqua gymnastics, morning and evening yoga on the beach, driving children by car Ćiro, but also numerous art workshops.
