The anniversary celebration will officially begin on June 22nd, 2026, at 9:01 pm. Director Nikola Kukunj announced that the event’s timeline aligns with the 165th anniversary of the publication of the “Zbornik narodnih povesti” by the Miladinov brothers, a pivotal moment in Macedonian literature.
This publication, first announced on June 24th, 1861 in Samobor, Croatia, established a foundation for the Struga Poetry Evenings. The Struga Poetry Evenings have become a highly respected international forum for poets and literary enthusiasts.
