Festival Guča Šumadija 6 – 9 August 2026

Sabor trubača Guča

About this event

The world's biggest trumpet festival — four nights of brass fire in the heart of Šumadija.

The Guča Trumpet Festival is the largest brass-band gathering on the planet and one of the most recognisable symbols of Serbian folk culture. For four days every August, this small town in central Serbia turns into the world capital of the trumpet, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors from more than forty countries.

The programme runs day and night — competition concerts featuring the best orchestras from across Serbia, non-stop street playing, spontaneous kolo dances, and grills on every corner. Each evening closes with the awarding of the Golden Trumpet, the most prestigious prize in the genre.

Guča is more than a festival — it is an experience you remember for life. Whether you come for the music, the atmosphere, or the sheer sensory overload, this is Serbia turned up to eleven.
