Postcard from Belgrade: Belgrade Summer Nights

Thursday, July 3, 2025

On Wednesday of last week I went to the first of this year's "Belgrade Summer Nights." 

No "Sensational Summer Nights?" Why not?

It was fun. I went to a couple last year as well, and enjoyed myself. There was a band on stage playing music from the 80s and 90s, so I was in my element. Beer, wine, cocktails, and food were consumed (in general that is, not just by me). 

Mainly, it's nice to live within a ten-minute walk of downtown Belgrade. Sure, Belgrade's downtown is perhaps not the most interesting one I've ever experienced, but there's still a fair bit to do. Things like "Belgrade Summer Nights" help add to that. 

However, I am a bit disappointed that the organizers didn't come up with an alliterative name, as is their wont, for this event. This name has no alliterative allure. Where's the spirit that brought us (in alphabetical order), the Book Brigade, Christmas Convoy, and Fall Festival? 

Is alliteration now out at the Belgrade Community Coalition?
