Varijanta Dance Festival Belgrade runs from Thursday 3 to Monday 7 September 2026 at Dom Omladine Beograda, the Belgrade Youth Center in the heart of the Serbian capital. Organised by the Varijanta team, the festival combines bachata and kizomba across two stages with workshops, social dancing and late night parties. Passes run from a €70 Party Pass to a €120 Full Pass, with the pre-party ticketed separately. The programme also includes a Jack and Jill competition that serves as a Bachata Social World Cup qualifier. Book early and use promo code BACHATALOVESME for a discount on your pass.

Belgrade is one of Europe’s great party cities, and a five day festival in a central venue makes for an easy long weekend. The lineup mixes bachata couples with a solid kizomba side, so it suits dancers who enjoy both. The roster was still being filled in at the time of writing and some past editions saw late scheduling, so check the official channels before you commit if specific artists matter to you.

Plan Your Trip

Getting there: Fly into Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG), about 20 minutes from the city centre by taxi or shuttle bus. Dom Omladine Beograda sits on Makedonska 22, central and easy to reach on foot from most downtown hotels.
Staying: The venue is not a hotel, so book accommodation in central Belgrade, where the nightlife, restaurants and the festival are all within walking distance. Looking for more? See other bachata festivals in Serbia.
