Briefly about the event
The Pumpkin festival (Bučijada) offers quality products, gastronomic delights, entertainment and cultural experience for all generations, which attracts an increasing number of visitors.
The event has been held continuously since 2004 with a constant tendency to expand and complete it with new content and involve as many agricultural, cultural and gastronomic activities as possible in the organization of the event.
Most of the sales and gastro activities (sales fair of pumpkin oil, pumpkins, pumpkin products, other agricultural products and handicrafts) are traditionally held in the city center, and entertainment for children is available at the Zelenjak Sports Park.
The event itself lasts three days, and the international sales fair lasts two days. During the event, various musical, entertainment and cultural activities are held that you can visit, and the gastronomic offer includes pumpkin dishes.
The event is organized by the Tourist Board City of Ivanić-Grad and the City of Ivanić-Grad, in cooperation with public, cultural and artistic institutions, associations and other sponsors in the area of Ivanić-Grad, but also beyond.
