One persons ‘yucky’ is another persons ‘yummy’…

The festival, now in its 6th year, celebrates and showcases ‘specific’ or ‘acquired’ popular culinary specialties. The festival’s name ‘Bjak (Yuck) is associated with the reaction to the dishes the festival celebrates by many.

Chicken feet
This event is unique to the island and is organised in part by the carnival associations ‘Babani’ and ‘Omišjanski babani’. All the food at the festival is free with a symbolic price for a drink. Those whose stomachs are up for it should check it out!
