Pastrmalijada festival in Štip

Overview

The annual Pastrmalijada gastronomic festival in Štip, North Macedonia, commenced on September 18, 2026. The event opened with the traditional cutting of a giant 2.10-meter-long pastrmalija, prepared by baker Nikolče Malinov using 17 kilograms of pork, 20 kilograms of flour, and four liters of oil.

Taking place at the ‘Vančo Prke’ promenade and the City Stadium, the festival includes musical performances by artists such as Jovan Jovanov, Elmir Mekić, and Željko Joksimović. Despite rising operational costs, the specialty was priced at 250 denars to maintain accessibility. Mayor Ivan Jordanov noted that the event is expected to boost the local economy and involves coordinated efforts to manage domestic and international tourists.
