One of the festival's distinctive features is its focus on traditional forms of humor and satire, such as caricature, aphorism, and epigram. At the same time, it also provides space for contemporary expressions, including theatrical performances and exhibitions. The dedication of the Cultural Center in Vinica and the support from the Ministry of Culture and the local government are crucial for its maintenance and continuous development, making it one of the rare and longest-running festivals of its kind in the region.
