Vižinada, Croatia

Each August, on the eve of the Assumption, the village of Vižinada celebrates Slatka Istra, Sweet Istria. Villagers prepare old recipes like fritule and kroštule for tasting and contest amid music and folk fun, in a celebration that revives the sweets handed down by Istrian grandmothers.

Media proof note

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