Throughout the history of the organization , there has been little innovation or changes to the format of the manifestation. The utmost care has been given to preserving the original tradition. The manifestation is held every year on the first week of the July. There are many sideshows at Đakovački vezovi. This year first sideshow were the Open Wine Cellars Days on 17.6.2022. in the Mandićevac ( Mandićevac is the village in the hilly parts of Đakovština where the first vineyards were grown on the order of bishop of Đakovo Antun Mandić).

There is enormus work and sacrifice being poured into organising Đakovački vezovi from the folklor and folk customs enthusiasts that are making shure to keep them alive and relevant . When I see the number of young children that are present at the Đakovački vezovi I am not afraid for its future because as long as we have young zealous children that are keeping the tradition alive, I know that there will be future for our beautifull and pridefull Slavonija and Šokadija .
