Banja Luka and Mimosa Festival: special love and joy

Traditionally, Banja Luka welcomed the caravan of the 56th Mimosa Festival at the full Krajina Square, where a large number of visitors enjoyed the two-hour promotion of the Herzegovinian event. Mimosa brought a sunny and warm day, smiles and confirmation that the people of Banja Luka are coming to Herceg Novi this February.

Majorettes, City Music, trombonists and members of Maškare greeted the visitors with a festive parade, and then the socializing continued with a concert by the Castel Nuovo clapper.

The advisor to the mayor of Banja Luka, Milada Šukalo, pointed out that the most space for cooperation between the two cities is in the field of tourism and culture.

"Promotions of Herceg Novi in ​​our city and vice versa have become a tradition and what we want in the coming period is to use the positive experiences from Herceg Novi when it comes to events like this, where in the period that is not the summer season, you try to reduce seasonality through the promotion of mimosa" , pointed out Šukalo.

According to Branka Branković from the Tourism Organization of Banja Luka, thanks to the media, every regional gathering, including this one, is successful.

"For about fifteen years, together with representatives from Herceg Novi, we have been organizing a gathering in Banja Luka on the occasion of the Mimosa Festival. "Spring has arrived in Banja Luka thanks to colleagues from Herceg Novi," said Branković.

As Tanja Mrkaić from TO Herceg Novi said, the caravan is already traditionally in Banja Luka.

"We are always warmly welcomed, we try to do the same for the people of Banja Luka, not only for the Mimosa Festival but throughout the year", said Mrkaić and thanked for the selfless help in organizing the caravan.

The director of the Public Institution of Culture Herceg fest, Tatjana Ateljević, recalled the importance of the Mimosa Festival.

"The manifestation is extremely important for our city and the 56th year of its holding shows how much we are attached to the Mimosa Festival and how alive it is in people who keep coming back to it and for 20, 30 years do not miss coming during the manifestation, Ateljević pointed out and once again invited everyone to be in Herceg Novi from February 14.

The first majorette, Tara Rašković, who has been part of the mimosa caravan for six years, said that it is an honor to represent her city.

"We are welcomed in every city, everyone is happy for us, they like our performance." For me, Praznik is very special, since I was a little girl I dreamed of being a majorette, so even though it can sometimes be tiring, being part of an ensemble is an indescribable feeling", said Rašković.

From February 14 to March 2, the 56th Mimosa Festival will be held in Herceg Novi, and the organizers are the Municipality of Herceg Novi, the Tourist Organization of Herceg Novi and the Public Institution of Culture Herceg Fest, with the support of numerous sponsors and friends of the festival.
