About

Račianske vinobranie is Rača's yearly wine harvest festival, a weekend when the district fills with local winegrowers, burčiak, folk bands and pop concerts. For kids, the draw is the historical kids zone: sword-fighting shows, archery, period games and a camp with a photo stand. Carousels, dance workshops and a kids' chess tournament round it out, so it works for families with kids of any age.
