The Pranger Festival, a meeting of poets, critics and poetry translators, has been organised every Summer since 2004 by the KUD Pranger Cultural Association. The festival is named after the pranger, a medieval pillory or public humiliation device which was set up in the centre of villages in this region. It took the name pranger since its concept is to disclose the literary word to the public, to literary critics and to theoreticians, translators as well as readers and other writers. Meetings, panel discussions and readings of poetry are organised during the four-day event.
