Branje grožđa is a vibrant traditional harvest festival held in Pregrada each autumn. Local winegrowers and villagers celebrate the grape harvest with folk music, dance performances, and a colorful parade of grape pickers in period costume. The square is filled with booths of local food and wine, and concerts each evening, blending age-old harvest rituals with community entertainment.
Rooted in the centuries-old viticulture of Hrvatsko Zagorje, the festival showcases customs associated with grape harvesting and winemaking. It honors the agricultural cycle and family traditions of the region, where most households have vineyards and participate in grape picking. Folkloric music and processions reflect local cultural values of hospitality and communal labor.
