Photo Gallery: Tastes, sounds and sights of Zagorje at ban Jelacic square

Zagorje is a region of Croatia just at the other side of Medvednica mountain known for its picturesque green hills, small farms, vineyards and traditional foods and crafts.

Those foods and craft are presented today on ban Jelacic square with more than thirty small craftsmen and farmers showcasing their products. From traditional toy making, lace weaving and blacksmithing to honey crumbs, strudels, vine and home baked bread (everything tastes better on traditional home baked bread).

Along with different produce, Zagorje is presenting itself with folk dances, music and performances that will last throughout the day.

The entire manifestation will last until 21h.
