Besi Days

During the summer season in Bela Crkva a sports and tourist event "Besi days" is held. Dedicated to the legendary capital catfish, which weighs over 100 kg, which was seen by many, but no one could catch him. The event dates back to 1988 and was conceived as a catfish hunting tournament ( "Hunting Besi"). In the meantime it developed into an ecological event, in order to protect nature and wildlife in the lake.
"Besi days" are filled with sports events on the water - Besi regatta, competition in swimming across the lake, water polo game, sport fishing tournament, and on the coast a beach volleyball tournament, an exhibition of underwater photographs, and appropriate cultural and artistic program. All lovers of fish soup can help themselves from a large Besi kettle, free of charge.
„Besi Days“ were held in the beginning of August.
