One of the oldest festivals in Istria with a hundred year old tradition, used to mark the beginning of grape picking season. This year's celebration starts on Friday evening with open wine cellars in the old town nucleus. Everyone will be able to take their pick among various three-day events comprising numerous sports, cultural and entertainment programmes. The most attractive events are the string of allegoric carriages of winemakers from Buje, the funny donkey race and barefoot women pressing grapes in a special barrel. Together with tasting must, you will see how must used to be transported on the old Istrian cart and taken to wine cellars for further processing.

The traditional "klapa" (a capella groups) meeting will be held at the Square in front of the Pauline monastery od St. Peter in the Woods, and in case of rain meeting will be moved into the bowling hall (Sveti Petar u Sumi).

Those who successfully completed the entire marathon know how enjoyable it was. Those who have at least attempted, surely did not regret it. This recreational swimming marathon is the major event of the Swimming festival at sea, held each year on the first weekend in September at the beach in Poreč. The start of the marathon is at the hotel Pical beach, and you can join the swimmers at any time between 9 am and 3 pm and choose one of the three marathon laps. There are guarded lockers at the beach, the swimming area is marked and under surveillance for the swimmers' safety, and the participants will be returned from the finish to the start position by boat. If you can't complete the entire marathon, a boat will come to pick you up, but don't give up so fast - everything is allowed: masks, fins, inflatable beach mattresses, water wings... You can set off alone, with your friends, family, swim slow or fast, use any possible known or unknown style. The marathon ends at 5pm with the presentation of awards.
