Đakovački vezovi is a well known and established event of original folklore. The first Đakovački vezovi Festival was held on 2 and 3 July 1967 as a touristic and cultural event marking the International Tourist Year. The Festival Đakovački vezovi is held annually in July. Its main focus is original folklore of Slavonia, Baranja and western Syrmia as well as other parts of Croatia and the accompanying events – various exhibitions, equestrian shows and other cultural and tourist events. The Festival is international with participants from around the world. The central events are the opening ceremony, performances by folklore groups and most importantly - a solemn procession through the streets of the city and the closing ceremony of the event called "Slavonia, a noble country" with a rich music program and a selection of the best folk costumes.
