The parade is the highlight of Đakovački Vezovi, a festival celebrating traditional culture.
In addition to folklore ensembles from the Đakovo area, the Slavonia region and across Croatia, the event also featured performers from South Korea, Costa Rica, Croatian communities in the United States, the Czech Republic and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The parade included 40 decorated wedding carriages and 80 horse riders.
Participants also included breeders of Croatian sheepdogs, Lipizzaner horses from the Đakovo State Stud Farm, Slavonian whipcrackers, men in traditional costume firing ceremonial pistols from northern Croatia, the Đakovo majorettes, brass bands from local fire brigades, and others.
Alongside the Slavonian groups, the parade featured folklore from Istria and central Croatia, as well as Slovak and Hungarian traditions.
The South Korean group performed a drum dance, while the Costa Rican ensemble showcased Latin dances and rhythms.
The festival closes on Sunday evening in the city's Strossmayer Park with the traditional programme, which includes the selection of the most beautiful traditional costumes.
