Festivals are considered to contribute significantly to cultural and economic development. The Vojvodina province is a multi-ethnic area with traditional folklore and a variety of cuisines, from which numerous and various events of economic and entertainment content have emerged. The main subject of this paper is an assessment of how event tourism can affect rural development. How much does a rural event affect host communities? Can a small-scale event that takes place to a rural environment play a significant role to the socio-economic development of the region? The authors of this research have highlighted the 10 most significant cultural events. The research objective is to determine the attitudes of the local population with regard to the organization, realization and economic importance of cultural events.
