This was a real visual delight and a treat for the palate for of all lovers of good food and wine. At affordable prices, food vouchers cost 35 kuna and drink vouchers cost 15 kuna, one could enjoy the many delicacies and wine tasting. During the program led by Ivica Puljić, beginning at 11 am, the cultural arts association St. Juraj Osojnik performed traditional folklore dances and the klapa multipart singing group Ragusavecchia also performed, while the Dubrovnik Table opening ceremony was held by the Mayor of Dubrovnik Mato Franković at 11:45 am.

 

A record-breaking amount of 64,500 kuna was raised, all of which will go to humanitarian causes: the Special Friend Association - ˝Arriving Safely at One's Destination˝ and the Association for Training Guide Dogs and for Mobility, the Dubrovnik Club for Users of Seeing Eye Dogs.
