Bartulja are friends you haven't seen all year. It is the table where families gather again. It is a grandmother showing her granddaughter how people used to dance. It is the smells of traditional cuisine, the sound of the accordion and the song that can be heard throughout Žminj. It is the encounters, conversations, laughter and memories that are created right then. Bartulja is a place where generations meet. And that is why every guest – whether from Žminj, Istria or another region – becomes part of the same story. 📍 ŽMINJ 🗓️ AUGUST 22 – 29, 2026 🎶 Sergej Ćetković • Toni Cetinski 🎭 Cultural and artistic program 🐄 Indigenous breed fair 🚴 Žminj cycling race ⚪ Bocce tournament “Bartulja 2026.” 🎠 Children's funfair 🍷 Gastro offer 🛍️ Exhibitors, stands and local products 🎵 Music and entertainment at multiple locations Come and feel the atmosphere that is hard to describe in words, but easy to love. ❤️ See you at Žminjska Bartulja 2026! 🎉 Zad Kaštela - a place of meeting, tradition and good fun. 🎶❤️
