It used to be held on St. Bartul, August 24, but over the years, people began to gather on the last Saturday in August to meet in larger numbers that day. However, on the day of St. Bartul, mass is still held in the church of that saint at the very entrance to Žminj. The essence of every Bartulja, then and now, is actually the gathering of the people of Žminj in their hometown. It is the day when locals return home even from afar to gather around their fireplaces, visit relatives, friends, talk, and walk around the place. The elders remember that in front of Bartulja, every day, after harvesting and working in the fields, the house was arranged so that the hosts could welcome relatives and guests in a neat house. Program: Futsal tournaments, bicycle race, bocce tournament, entertainment program, cattle fair, agricultural fair, domestic animal show, plodding tournament, cultural and artistic program.
