Amidst the festivities, a Pan picnic will be held on Friday, a competition in which the winner will be rewarded with the amount of beer that matches their weight (as many beers as kilos). A cycling surprise will be presented on Saturday in Cvjetni Square.

All fans of the Zagreb astroturf will be educated on safety in transport in Cvjetni Square. The Bike association and Profil publisher will teach the citizens how to enjoy riding a bike and follow traffic regulations, while a race will be organised as well.

Cest is D` Best is the oldest street festival which promotes and creates cultural expression in the street, at the same time expanding the tourist offering of the City of Zagreb. At first, it was a one-day event held in Cvjetni Square. Because of the public interest, it expanded to the city centre streets and squares. Its authors, otherwise top musicians and street artists are Kraljevi ulice, i.e. Zlatko Petrovic Pajo and Miran Hadzi Veljkovic.
