“Days of Ludaja” Kikinda

Pumpkin days are a regional manifestation taking place in Kikinda every September, with a tradition spanning over three decades. Every year, tens of thousands of people visit the Pumpkin days and have an opportunity to enjoy a diverse gastronomic, cultural, entertainment and sports program. The official colour of manifestation is orange because it symbolises a pumpkin (“Ludaja”) that has been grown for centuries in these areas. The central event is measuring the heaviest and longest pumpkins, and this manifestation is a holder of the prestigious “Tourist flower” prize.
