There’s a festival in Kikinda called Pumpkin Days (Dani ludaje). It takes place in the middle of October.

On this day, there are different competitions; women from Kikinda (Kikindjanke) make pumpkin pies, pumpkins are measured and weighed, schoolchildren make masks and take part in pumpkin relayraces…There’s also a parade and a fair with food on the town square.

Being a festival, it can’t be imagined without music. So a lot of folk dance and singing groups perform on the stage in front of the museum.
