The number of visitors at this year's Belgrade Beer Fest, which took place from August 18 till August 22 at Usce, has exceeded all the expectations, even the predictions of Belgrade Cultural Network, which is the producer of the festival.

According to the regular checks which took place around midnight, when the number of visitors was the largest, we had at Usce, during these five festival nights, around 900.000 people.

Based on that, Belgrade Beer Fest became the most visited European Festival. After five days and 40 performers, Belgrade Beer Fest was closed on Sunday, August 22, with great Van Gogh concert, which was followed by performance of DJ Mouse J and DJ Lapac, and with beer drinking competition – Lavovski cug.
