Accordions Behind the Castle

The Gathering of Istrian Self-taught Accordion Players, officially called "Armonike zad Kaštela", and unofficially "The Accordion Wedding".

This gathering is non-competitive, and the only prizes are the applause of the audience, which is always abundant in Žminj. On that day, you can hear polkas, waltzes, and baluns near Kaštel.
It is customary for the concert to be opened by a local musician, while the end is reserved for newcomers. Since most of the musicians hold the status of "local stars" and are frequent guests at weddings and festivities, they are usually welcomed with applause and enthusiastic ovations from the audience.
The official part of the program ends with a joint performance by around forty accordions, which is the usual number, but this by no means marks the end of the celebration. The festivities continue deep into the night with local songs and music.
See you on July 12th in Žminj near Kaštel.
