The International Plum Fair is one of the most distinctive agricultural and cultural festivals in the Balkans, celebrating the plum — a fruit deeply connected to regional farming traditions, cuisine, and local identity.
Held annually in towns across Southeast Europe, particularly in Serbia and Bosnia, the fair combines agriculture, gastronomy, traditional crafts, and community celebration into one lively event.
The festival highlights not only fresh plums, but also plum-based products such as jams, dried fruit, pastries, and the famous Balkan plum brandy šljivovica.
Highlights:
🍑Agricultural Marketplace: Hundreds of regional and international exhibitors showcase fresh fruits, high-yield seedlings, and agricultural products.
🌳Economic Hub: Farmers, exporters, and entrepreneurs gather to discuss supply chains, crop yields, and expanding into European markets.
🍰Culinary Showcases: A vibrant gathering featuring traditional plum preserves, specialized jams, pastries, and local distillations.
