The scent of times gone by, the sound of old engines and the camaraderie that connects generations are once again coming to South Bilogora! On Sunday, July 5, 2026 , the Lovrakov Center in Veliki Grđevac will be the venue for another Traktorijade, a unique event that celebrates the rich agricultural heritage, rural lifestyle and love for vintage tractors.
The Tractor Rally is not just a gathering of old-timer tractor owners, but an event that preserves tradition and memories of the times when tractors were an indispensable part of everyday life in the countryside. For many owners, their tractors are much more than machines, they are part of family history, memories of grandfathers and fathers, and the result of years of effort invested in the preservation and restoration of these valuable examples of technical heritage.
Visitors can expect a rich program filled with an exhibition of vintage tractors and agricultural implements, competitions in dexterity and precision, socializing in a homely atmosphere, and activities for the youngest. Special attention will be drawn to the selection of the most original oldtimer and the selection of the oldest tractor of the 2026 Tractor Fair .
The program begins at 10:00 a.m. with a gathering of old-timer tractors at the Mato Lovrak Elementary School, followed by an attractive procession through Veliki Grđevac. From 12:00 p.m., visitors will be able to view an exhibition of vintage tractors and agricultural implements and participate in the selection of the most original old-timer and oldest tractor of the event.
At 1:30 p.m., lunch was organized for visitors and participants, and starting numbers for adult competitors began to be collected at 2:00 p.m.
The competitive part of the program begins at 2:30 PM and participants will test their skills in the following disciplines:
The slowest tractor
Skills test at the training ground
Parking a two-axle trailer by reversing
Lawn tractor competition on a natural polygon
For the youngest participants, a Children's Tractor Race has been prepared, which starts at 5:00 p.m. Children aged 4 to 8 will compete on their own pedal tractors, and before that, from 4:30 p.m., they can pick up their starting numbers.
The day ends with a ceremonial awarding of prizes and plaques for all participants.
We invite all tractor enthusiasts, families, hikers and the curious to join us at this special event that combines tradition, fun and togetherness, and year after year confirms its status as one of the most recognizable events in South Bilogora.
See you on July 5th at the Lovrakov Center in Veliki Grđevac!
