Croatian Coachella is the synonym for Pannonian Challenge festival in Osijek. For 19 years in a row this festival, except from extreme sports, offers plenty of amazing music and entertainment for all generations. After the amazing 19th edition of the festival, the organisers announced the date for the next festival. Next year the skate park will gather the best BMX, inline and skateboard riders from all over the world. The festival will take place from 5th to 9th June. As always the party doesn't end at the skate park. The audience can continue to party with amazing musicians, Djs and many others until early morning hours.
Skate Park in Osijek is the biggest and best equipped skate park in this part of the Europe. For this jubilee edition of the festival, Skate Park in Osijek will welcome more than 300 riders who will compete for a rich cash prize. One of the most interesting things is that BMX and skate as extreme sports will be a part of summer Olympics in Tokyo, 2020. So we will be able to watch some of the future Olympians perform.
-In my opinion, I think that together with our „lega“ and „legice“ we created a brand, an amazing event which everyone is eagerly awaiting. We organised the first edition of the festival primarily for young people, and we still do it. We organise the festival for young generations, for our city and for the message this festival carries to our visitors: “It can be done, we should always try our best, and we should never give up!“ Next year is our big 20th anniversary and we guarantee that it will be the biggest
and most extreme one so far. – says Jurica Barać, project manager of Pannonian Challenge.
The Pannonian Challenge for the jubilee edition is preparing the most spectacular event. Save the date for Pannonian Challenge and dare to visit the most extreme festival in this part of the Europe.
Osijek is waiting for you!
