The inaugural Poetic Bridge Festival was held at the Trešnjevka Cultural Center in Zagreb, aiming to explore the intersection of poetry, music, translation, photography, calligraphy, and dance.

The event featured poets from Croatia, Hungary, and North Macedonia. Macedonian poet Suzana V. Spasovska participated in multilingual readings and an international panel discussion regarding the role of translation and the experience of poetry beyond language. 

Organized by the Trešnjevka Culture Center in collaboration with the Liszt Institute and the Macedonian Cultural Information Center (KIC) in Zagreb, the festival received support from the Croatian Ministry of Culture and Media and the Macedonian Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The program included workshops on music, poetry writing, calligraphy, dance, and movement.
