Municipality day

The Day of the City of Križevci is celebrated on April 24, and is connected with the commemoration of the proclamation of the free royal city of Križevci on April 24, 1252.

On that day, Ban Stjepan proclaimed the Upper Town a new royal city, giving the people living in it the same liberties that the citizens of Grič and the New City of Zagreb enjoyed. The charter of Ban Stjepan was confirmed by King Bela IV on August 16, 1253. On this day, the city traditionally hosts numerous cultural and artistic events.
