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.
By recognising the importance of Pumpkin days for Kikinda and the region, “Banini” supports this manifestation every year in order to additionally enrich the program, so this event could continue symbolising the local community.
