The traditional Berane event “Šlaufijada,” which had been neglected over the past decade, was revived on August 5, 2012, as part of the “I Still Exist” festival celebrating the town’s 150th anniversary.
The event involved all generations, with older citizens sharing their expertise to help the youth organize traditional segments. The sight of young people racing down the Lim River on old truck inner tubes echoed the experiences of their fathers from times past, while a fish soup cooking competition took place in the main town park.
Masquerade and Spirit: In the evening, a parade of masked children and youth marched through the town center. The culminating masquerade ball brought all generations together, reawakening the long-dormant spirit of Berane’s golden days.
