As early as on January 1st the Street of open heart marked the beginning of the cultural season 2010. This happening first featured the elements of a humanitarian and social event but gradually acquired the status of a cultural one. Grozdana Olujic received NIN award for the novel of the year for her novel Voices in the Wind and at Atelier 212 we watched the premier performance of the play Waiting-room, done according to the German play by Clauss Paul. Following, at Sava Center 6th time the European Documentary Film Festival TheMagnificent 7 was held.

Apart from The Sterija's Theatre in Novi Sad, in June we inundated the concert arenas around town - Elton John, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood - they all surprised the fans of good music with unforgettable performances. The July days were dedicated to Exit, the music festival of the highest rank in Novi Sad, the Belgrade manifestation The Summer at Gardos, the Festival of The European Film at Palic and traditionally Belef.

The last month of summer will be remembered by unsurpassableBITEF festival held at the Bitef Theatre, and by some good beer and music at the Beer Fest at Usce, jazz festival NisVille in Nis and the The Festival of Trumpets in Guča.
