The Ilok Grape Harvest, a manifestation that has been gathering wine and tradition enthusiasts for 57 years, this year brings three days of rich programs, from September 5th to 8th, during which Ilok will once again become the center of events on the Croatian wine scene.

The event has its roots in centuries-old Srijem and Slavonian customs, when residents gathered during the harvest to jointly guard the vineyards, celebrate a good yield, and socialize, especially the young, who at that time had rare opportunities for free socializing. Today, this tradition is adapted to modern visitors, but it retains its original spirit of gathering and celebration. This year, the harvest returns to the old town center, below the newly renovated walls that were recently restored, further emphasizing the historical importance of the event.

Opening ceremony with musical performances
The first day of the event, Thursday, is reserved for the celebration of Radio Ilok's birthday. The program starts at 9 PM with prize games and warming up the audience, followed by a performance by Vojko V at 10 PM, known for his energetic and entertaining performances. DJ Vixa will continue entertaining the audience late into the night, ensuring an atmosphere that will be remembered.

Friday - an evening of spectacle and fireworks
Friday brings a festive program starting at 8 PM, with a traditional fireworks display that will light up the sky above Ilok and mark the beginning of the second evening of the event. Maja Šuput, known for her dynamic performances, will take the stage at 10 PM, and immediately after her, Grupa Royal will continue with the musical program, ensuring that the evening is filled with dancing and fun.

Saturday - a day for rock and tamburitza music lovers
On Saturday, the event continues at 9 PM with a performance by Neno Belan & Fiumens, who will undoubtedly attract many rock lovers. After them, TS Sanjalice takes the stage, bringing a touch of tradition to the evening program with their tamburitza sounds, satisfying tamburitza music lovers.

Sunday - a day for family and children
The last day of the event, Sunday, is dedicated to the family, with a special emphasis on the youngest visitors. After the holy mass, a children's grape harvest will be organized in the old town center, starting at 11:30 AM. Children and parents will be able to enjoy a concert by Minea, who will delight and entertain everyone present with her hits.

Gastronomic and enological offerings
In addition to musical performances, visitors will have the opportunity to taste authentic Srijem and Slavonian specialties in local catering establishments, visit the wine fair, and tour the famous Ilok wine cellars.
