Stara jela z Dugog Sela

Stara jela z Dugog Sela (Old Dishes from Dugo Selo) is an annual event held every September in this small town near Zagreb. Book affordable accommodation in Dugo Selo in mid-September when this three-day event takes over the town squares and streets. Get your "grandma enamel plate" and start tasting the gastronomic traditions. This souvenir takes us back to past centuries when such plates were produced here, giving the event a plastic-free character as there are no plastic plates anywhere. The event also embraces a zero-waste philosophy, so you can participate in workshops on preparing traditional dishes without waste, just like our ancestors did in all parts of Croatia. The menu is typical for this region, and the highlight of Stara jela z Dugog Sela is the Kotlowina show, a fun competition that concludes the event on Sunday. Children are not forgotten either, with numerous workshops organized for them, while adults cook in pots, stretch strudels, make cheeses, bake, cook, mix, and have fun. The musical program accompanies everything, thus we dance with full stomachs and hearts.
