Lendava, Slovenia

Aug 22, 2026ExpectedSource

Each year, the old town of Lendava fills with the smell of simmering bograč, the hearty meat stew of the Prekmurje region. Dozens of teams cook all day in great cauldrons as a jury crowns the finest pot, in a convivial culinary contest celebrating a dish that has fed families here for generations.

Media proof note

The Bograč Stew Festival record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.
