The city of Vinkovci is preparing for yet another edition of the culinary spectacle that celebrates the rich tradition of Slavonian gastronomy. The Fourth Vinkovci Fish Fair will take place on September 28, gathering lovers of fish specialties and top chefs from the entire region. This event has become an indispensable part of the city's cultural calendar, offering visitors a unique experience of tastes and customs passed down through generations.


Maintaining Tradition After Vinkovci Autumn


After the curtains fall on the renowned Vinkovci Autumn event, which celebrates the folklore and customs of Slavonia, the Fish Fair comes as a perfect continuation of celebrating local culture. The first weekend after Vinkovci Autumn, the city's parks and the banks of the Bosut River transform into a gastronomic paradise. The scents of freshly prepared fish paprika fill the air as competitors vie to prepare this traditional dish. Last year, the event attracted over a thousand visitors, and this year the number is expected to be even higher, thanks to the rich program and the growing public interest.


A Competition That Brings Together Professionals and Amateurs


The Fish Fair is not just a culinary competition; it is an event that brings together people of different profiles, from professional chefs to enthusiasts who nurture the family tradition of preparing fish. Competitors will have the opportunity to showcase their skills before a professional jury that will evaluate the taste, presentation, and authenticity of the dishes. Participation from over 50 teams is expected, making this competition one of the largest of its kind in the region. The winner will receive the prestigious title of "Fish Master of Vinkovci" and valuable prizes provided by the event sponsors.


A Rich Accompanying Program for All Generations


In addition to the culinary part, the organizers have prepared a diverse entertainment program that includes performances by local music bands, folklore groups, and children's choirs. For the youngest visitors, workshops and outdoor games will be organized, while adults can enjoy tasting local wines and brandies. Stalls will offer homemade products, handicrafts, and souvenirs representing the cultural heritage of Slavonia. The goal is to provide a full-day experience that will satisfy all senses and bring visitors closer to the spirit of Slavonian hospitality.


Promotion of Local Gastronomy and Tourism


The event has a significant impact on promoting Vinkovci as a tourist destination. The city, known for its history and culture, further highlights its gastronomic wealth through this event. "Fish paprika is more than a dish; it is a symbol of our identity and community," emphasized the mayor in a recent statement. Local hoteliers and producers also have the opportunity to showcase their products, contributing to the development of the local economy and the preservation of tradition.


Invitation to Participate and Enjoy


All interested parties are invited to join this unique event. Whether you want to participate in the competition or simply enjoy the flavors and atmosphere, the Vinkovci Fish Fair offers something for everyone. Registration for the competition is open until September 25, and admission for visitors is free. The organizers are confident that this year's Fish Fair will be the most successful yet, providing unforgettable moments and promoting the values of community and tradition.

Tourism desk

Our Travel Desk was born out of a long-standing passion for travel, discovering new places, and serious journalism. Behind every article stand people who have been living tourism for decades – as travelers, tourism workers, guides, hosts, editors, and reporters. For more than thirty years, destinations, seasonal trends, infrastructure development, changes in travelers’ habits, and everything that turns a trip into an experience – and not just a ticket and an accommodation reservation – have been closely followed. These experiences are transformed into articles conceived as a companion to the reader: honest, informed, and always on the traveler’s side.

At the Travel Desk, we write from the perspective of someone who has truly walked the cobblestones of old towns, taken local buses, waited for the ferry in peak season, and searched for a hidden café in a small alley far from the postcards. Every destination is observed from multiple angles – how travelers experience it, what the locals say about it, what stories are hidden in museums and monuments, but also what the real quality of accommodation, beaches, transport links, and amenities is. Instead of generic descriptions, the focus is on concrete advice, real impressions, and details that are hard to find in official brochures.

Special attention is given to conversations with restaurateurs, private accommodation hosts, local guides, tourism workers, and people who make a living from travelers, as well as those who are only just trying to develop lesser-known destinations. Through such conversations, stories arise that do not show only the most famous attractions but also the rhythm of everyday life, habits, local cuisine, customs, and small rituals that make every place unique. The Travel Desk strives to record this layer of reality and convey it in articles that connect facts with emotion.

The content does not stop at classic travelogues. It also covers topics such as sustainable tourism, off-season travel, safety on the road, responsible behavior towards the local community and nature, as well as practical aspects like public transport, prices, recommended neighborhoods to stay in, and getting your bearings on the ground. Every article goes through a phase of research, fact-checking, and editing to ensure that the information is accurate, clear, and applicable in real situations – from a short weekend trip to a longer stay in a country or city.

The goal of the Travel Desk is that, after reading an article, the reader feels as if they have spoken to someone who has already been there, tried everything, and is now honestly sharing what is worth seeing, what to skip, and where those moments are hidden that turn a trip into a memory. That is why every new story is built slowly and carefully, with respect for the place it is about and for the people who will choose their next destination based on these words.
