Belgrade (Zemun): Danube Day Festival (26 June 2010)

Come and join in the fun at Zemun Quay for Serbia's main Danube Day event! With activities for all the family, it's a great day out and a great way to celebrate the Danube rivers. Take a walk along the interactive "Danube Street" to meet some of the important plants and animals that live in the Danube (by the Venecija restaurant). There are six points along the painted Danube river street where you can carry out a task to help the Danube; learn more about how the river helps us and why its species are under threat. Keep as quiet as you can when you visit the shy Black Stork among the oak trees at "Gornje Podunavlje"; find the friendly pygmy cormorants among the ships at "Veliko ratno ostrvo" and get yourself a bird tattoo; release Belugas into the upper stream of the Danube at the "Djerdap dam" and carry out a water purification experiment at "Bezdan." On reaching the end of the "street" at "Koviljsko Petrovaradinski Rit", meet the otter and join in a fun water workshop.

There's also face painting, balloon animals, clowns, an arts workshop for children with special needs and the chance to get a caricature of yourself as a Danube plant or animal! Enjoy a boat trip around Great War Island; learn about historic sunken ships with a new map; view the display on navigation and model ships; check out the "Danube Thought Cube" and help plan the "Wonder Woods" project to create growing and relaxing areas along the Danube at Ada Huja. You can also speak to experts and view films about recycling and water conservation.
