We are pleased to announce that this year's content of Sport Fest will be even richer and more diverse! In addition to sports events, there will be 3 exhibitions. Filip Peraić, a well-known illustrator and designer who collaborates with many international companies and brands, has his own exhibition written about by the New York Times and CNN, among others. It is a James Harden Illustrated project with a series of portraits of one of the best players in the NBA league. He will be accompanied by Nick Titanic Studio, which specializes in making cartoons that are published daily in 24sata. The author and designer Nikola Plečko is also a big fan of sports, so his works are mostly sports-themed.
In the end, we are very pleased to present the Croatian Sports Museum, which will join us in Poreč with an exhibition of one of, if not the greatest man in Croatian sports, Franjo Bučar. The exhibition will contain numerous details and objects from his life and will be adapted for all ages. For all further information, follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

In cooperation with the Epidemiological Service and the Istrian Civil Protection Headquarters, measures were adopted to hold this year's Sport Fest. Indoors, the number of visitors will not exceed 100 participants. The number of exhibitors is limited to a maximum of 30, and it is ensured that a gap will be prescribed between all of them. Also, wearing a protective face mask is mandatory when staying indoors, and all exhibitors must provide disinfectants at their stands. Everyone's body temperature will be measured at the entrance, and they will be asked to leave data to help prevent further infection. We appeal for solidarity and respect for all measures in order for everyone to protect each other.

This year, for obvious reasons, we place a particularly great focus on the highest standards of hygiene and safety. That is why we continuously communicate with our partners and hosts in Poreč and, of course, with the epidemiological services. The result is the decision to move the Sport Fest to the Diamant Hall within the Valamar Diamant Hotel, near the Žatika Hall. This decision enables the realization of standard and more advanced measures, but also several logistical advantages. Also important information is that there will be no organizational and content changes. For all further information, follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
