Pannonian Challenge,
the most famous extreme sports event and the most recognizable brand of
Osijek, was founded in 1999 and has been the center of alternative
culture for the last 18 years.
Pannonian
started out small with just a few skaters jumping around and doing
tricks. Every year it grew a little bigger, so Pannonian Challenge XIV
had to move from the skate park to the Copacabana. The new location
offers a bigger park and more space for the bleachers that our many
visitors will enjoy. Thanks to them, Pannonian is right now one of the
most significant extreme sports events in the region, and that is proven
with the fact that Osijek will be one of the stops of the BMX Freestyle
World Cup.
Aside from the extreme
sports, Pannonian is also a host to many eminent music icons that are a
part of the night program. A great number of artists performed at our
festival: Kiril Djaikovski, Edo Maajka, S.A.R.S, Hladno pivo and many
others.
Every year this festival is
getting closer and closer to the top of extreme sports events, and with
Pannonian hosting this year’s BMX World Cup, there is no denying that
one day it will end up on the top.
