Several Osijek musicians and associations such as PLANTaža, Slama Land Art, Shine dance studioKultAkt Association, ReArt festival and PARTWISH grouped together to organise the day. The final result? Musicians playing music on the tram tracks. In a moving wagon. Being pulled by a tram all through town.

Finally, let's remember the efforts of the Osijek Civil Protection Headquarters during the pandemic, which recognized the uniqueness of this project and the efforts of police officers who took care of the safety of cheerful and singing citizens.
