The story

Vinkovci Autumns in Vinkovci

Vinkovacke jeseni is an autumn folklore festival in eastern Croatia's Vinkovci, founded in 1966 to mark the harvest season and showcase Slavonian folk dance, costume and song, drawing folklore societies from across the wider Balkan region each September. Vinkovci itself ranks among the oldest continuously inhabited towns in Europe.

Vinkovacke jeseni was first organized in September 1966 with a specific purpose in mind: marking the start of the harvest season while giving Slavonian villages a stage to present their folk dances, costumes and customs to a wider public.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival was paused only once in nearly six decades, during the Homeland War in 1991, and its return the following year is treated locally as a specific marker of the region's postwar cultural continuity rather than a routine resumption

02

The mystery stays covered

Hundreds of folklore societies from Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia converge on one town for a single programme, a scale of regional folklore cooperation matched by few other recurring events on this side of the Adriatic
