Can kids take part, or is it mostly watching?

Both. The fights, jousting and horse shows are to watch, but the interactive workshops (forging, calligraphy, mosaic, leatherwork, medieval dance) and the kids' play areas are hands-on.

Will my kids follow it without Serbian?

Most of it is visual: fights, horses, music and crafts. The organizer posts the festival program in both Serbian and English.

What hours does it run?

At the 2026 edition the knights' village opened Friday from 4pm, and Saturday and Sunday ran from 11am into the evening. The organizer's site posts the program for each edition.

About

Beli Orlovi turns the Upper Town of Belgrade Fortress into a medieval village. Kids watch knights fight in armor and riders joust on horseback, then join hands-on workshops in old crafts like forging, calligraphy and mosaic, or a medieval dance class. It suits families who like to wander and stop where something catches their eye: there is a medieval bazaar, live medieval and ethno music, and play areas for kids.
