In Banja Luka, the sixth consecutive Moto Fest Banjaluka festival, organized by MK “Stršljen”, begins today. The organizers made an effort to prepare an excellent musical and accompanying program for the people of Banja Luka and several thousand guests, not only motorcyclists, that everyone will enjoy.
The motto of this year’s festival is „old school’s back in town“a Siniša Praštalothe president of MK “Stršljen”, said that the event has huge potential and that according to the general opinion of all visitors, it is getting better every year.
“This is an event that has great potential and every year requires more giving from us. Although the guests say every time that the festival is the best they have been to, we try to raise the organization one step higher every year. We are growing into the biggest, I can freely say , this kind of festival in the Balkans,” said Praštalo.
He says that bikers from 20 countries and that all accommodation facilities in the city are already full, and a room is wanted in Trno, Laktaši, Celinac…
“Kastel is getting tighter and the space will be small to accommodate all the guests. Kastel can accommodate 17,000, and expects 20 to 25,000 guests at the Moto Fest,” predicts Praštalo.
He noted that there will be a special program for children on Saturday at Kastel – a children’s Moto fest with the performance of “Vrapčić” and invited all families to come and learn about motorcycles.
Not least, there will be funds from the charity raffle donated to the Parents’ House on Paprikovac, and everyone who buys a ticket participates in a prize draw. The main prize is a motorbike, and it was drawn on Saturday after 10 pm, so save your tickets.
